动词的及物不及物是在英语学习中必须解决的首要问题。动词及物与不及物通常有以下几种应用情况，下面让我们来具体看一下
1.主要用作及物动词。及物动词后面必须跟宾语。可以用于："主+谓+宾"；"主+谓+双宾"；"主+谓+宾+宾补"结构。
如：They asked me to go fishing with them.
类似的还有：buy, catch, invent, found, like, observe, offer, prevent, promise, raise, find, forget, receive, regard, see, say, seat, supply, select, suppose, show, make, take, tell....
2.主要用作不及物的动词。不及物动词后面不跟宾语。只能用于："主+谓"结构。
如：This is the room which I once lived in.
类似的还有：agree, go, work, listen, look, come, die, belong, fall, exist, rise, arrive, sit, sail, hurry, fail, succeed get feel keep look make prove remain rest rise seem stand stay turn， turn out...
3.既可以用作及物又可以用作不及物的动词，其意义不变。如begin 都是作"开始"讲。
如：everybody , our game begins. let us begin our game.
类似的还有：start, answer, sing, close, consider, insist, read, learn, prepare, pay, hurt, improve....
4.既可以用作及物又可以用作不及物的动词，其意义完全不同。
这类动词作不及物动词是一个意义；而作及物动词时却是另一个意义。如lift作不及物动词时是指烟雾的"消散"。
如：we saw the mountain when the clouds lifted. 作及物动词时是"升高；举起"。
