Intransitive verbs take exactly one subject argument and no objects. Typical transitive verbs include leave, arrive, laugh. The class of intransitives is divided into Unaccusative Verbs (definition) which have a single theme argument, such as arrive, and Unergative Verbs (definition) which have an agent such as leave.
