In grammar, an intransitive verb does not take an object. In more technical terms, an intransitive verb has only one argument (its subject), and hence has a valency of one. For example, in English, the verbs sleep and die, are intransitive. Some verbs, such as smell are both transitive and intransitive.

Some examples of sentences with intransitive verbs:

Harry will sleep until sunrise. (sleep has no object)
He died on Friday. (die has no object)
You smell. (smell has no object)
