Transitive vs intranstiive
I carried the baby TRANSITIVE
(I carried X)
The children laughed INTRANSITIVE
(The children laughed their mouths X)
Transitive verbs take a grammatical object

But....
Many verbs can be both transitive and
intransitive. So, it is often more accurate
to say that a verb is being used transitively
or intransitively.
e.g.
Don’t bother me, I’m eating.
I’ll be eating dinner much later tonight.
