~自動詞/他動詞

N4Other

N4 · Other · 自動詞 / 他動詞

Meaning

intransitive and transitive verbs

Structure

自動詞 / 他動詞

Explanation

Intransitive verbs describe events or state changes; transitive verbs describe someone acting on an object.

Usage

Transitive verbs often take を; intransitive verbs often use が for the changed subject.

Example

ドアが開きました。私がドアを開けました。

The door opened. I opened the door.

Common Mistake

Do not rely only on translation; learn pairs such as 開く/開ける together.

Memory Tip

Memorize “自動詞/他動詞” as one fixed chunk, then practice by replacing words in the example sentence. Learn the connection first, then the nuance.
