The rest of the following verbs are usually intransitive, meaning they usually do not take a direct object. Some verbs may belong under both categories, and have similar or very different meanings. Look at the following sentences. If both sentences in a pair are correct but there is a big meaning change, the answer should be "no" in the fourth column. N/A stands for "not applicable".
