Task 2. Find transitive verbs in the sentences: 1. I caught a cold. 2. He will arrive on Sunday. 3. The food smells good. 4. He ate a sandwich. 5. This car costs a lot of money.

A transitive verb is a verb that has a direct object: someone or something receives the action.

• caught in “I caught a cold.” Object: a cold.
• ate in “He ate a sandwich.” Object: a sandwich.
• costs in “This car costs a lot of money.” Object: a lot of money.

Answer: caught, ate, costs.

Arrive is intransitive, and smells here is a linking verb, not transitive.
