No. So 'fall' is an intransitive verb.) to go (can you go something? No. Intransitive.) to eat (can you eat something? Yes. Transitive) to remember (transitive) to sleep (intransitive) You can think of many others, I'm sure.

An object is the thing which the verb acts on, and which in English usually come after the verb. For example if I say I like horses, horses is the object. If I say I hit the ball, ball is the object. If say I want a drink, a drink is the object; if I say he asked me a question, me is the object. An intransitive verb does not have an object, like I am smiling, I smile; I laughed; I am drinking; I am smiling, etc. Answered by David J - Mon Oct 1 12:01:42 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "intransitive"  timesonline.co.uk Times Online, UK ... and most of it was quietly shelved.
