He brings water.
Here ‘bring’ is transitive verb and ‘water’ is its object.
If we say, he brings. Then the question may raise that he brings what? There should be something to replace ‘what’ in order to complete the meaning of the sentence.

is a verb that does not require object; it gives a complete meaning without object.
She comes.
The bird flies.
Here ‘comes and flies’ are intransitive verbs. They give a complete meaning without object.

For example:
He cooks food. (Active voice)
Food is cooked by him. (Passive voice)
The students are swimming. (No passive voice)

: there are some verbs which function both as transitive and intransitive verbs.
He is singing. (Intransitive Verb)
He sings a song. (Transitive Verb)

: The verbs that sometimes take two objects are called Ditransitive Verbs.
For Example:
