What type of verb does "The boat has docked" represent?

Transitive
Intransitive
Infinitive
Imperative

The correct answer is: Intransitive

The sentence "The boat has docked" demonstrates the use of an intransitive verb. Intransitive verbs are action verbs that do not require a direct object to complete their meaning. In this case, "docked" describes the action of the boat without needing to directly act upon an object. The sentence conveys that the boat has completed the action of docking, and the focus is solely on the subject, "the boat." Transitive verbs, by contrast, would require an object to receive the action, which isn't applicable here because there is no object indicated in the sentence. Understanding these distinctions is critical as it helps with proper sentence structure and verb usage in both writing and conversational contexts.
