Answer 1

An intransitive verb does not direct action toward anyone or anything named in the sentence.

Answer 2

A intransitive verb it doesnt need a direct object to complete its meaning.
Examples:
Let go.
The Kids are Jumping.
Sam is sleeping.
those are all examples of transitive verbs.
A Transitive verb is the opposite in other words it needs a direct object to complete its meaning.
Examples:
Jetro often takes a nap.
←(here takes is the transitive verb that needs another object to complete its meaning otherwise you won't know what Jetro takes.) nap←(here nap completes the transitive verb because then you know what Jetro takes which is a nap. Otherwise you would know.)
