Are some verbs always intransitive or transitive?

A blog mem­ber wrote to me yes­ter­day to ask a good ques­tion: are some verbs always tran­si­tive or intran­si­tive? In plain Eng­lish, the ques­tion is whether there are some verbs that always have, or don’t have, an object. After some research, the answer seems to be “yes.” Con­sult a good dic­tio­nary to see which verbs are which.  See the fol­low­ing link for an expla­na­tion: http://www.uni-giessen.de/~ga1047/grammar/ . In this exam­ple, the author uses the verbs “bake” and “take” to show how these verbs always need an object, and thus are always tran­si­tive verbs. Like­wise, there are some verbs like “blow” and “wait” that are always intran­si­tive. And there are many verbs that can be both.
