Abstract

The process of acquiring grammar requires distinguishing between parts of the sentence, including the verb and the subject, as well as the ability to form the verb and distinguish the best verb forms. This study aims to understand the different functions of transitive verbs and intransitive verbs and the problems related to them. The quantitative descriptive approach was used in this study by using a questionnaire (questionnaire) designed by the researcher to evaluate teachers' perceptions towards the different functions of transitive verbs, intransitive verbs, and related problems. This study concluded that the main function of transitive and intransitive verbs is to develop the communication process level by guaranteeing delivering the exact correct meaning of sentences. The study also clarified that several difficulties could be faced when distinguishing transitive and intransitive verbs, such as creating incomplete and dysfunctional sentences, making grammatical errors, and generating mistakes in the employment and formulation of these verb types.
