  1. Dear Büşra,
    Thank you for the relevant examples to illustrate the transitive and intransitive verbs. However, I would like to make one suggestion for the sentence"He did not play yesterday"s game because he was injured."
    It would be a good idea to revise it in the following way: "He did not play in the game yesterday because he was injured."
    Keep up the good work.
