Love is usually a transitive verb, but can sometimes be an intransitive verb.

Love As Transitive Verb: “I love her deeply.”

“Love” is a transitive verb here because it takes a direct object, “her.” The verb “love” describes the action of having strong feelings of affection for a specific person.

Love As Intransitive Verb: “I love to travel.”

In this sentence, “love” is an intransitive verb because it doesn’t take a direct object. The verb “love” simply expresses a general feeling of enjoyment or pleasure.

“Love” can also be an interjection and an adjective.

Love As Interjection: “Oh, love! You’re the reason for my happiness.”

In this, “love” is an interjection because it’s an exclamation that expresses strong emotion. It’s used to express surprise, joy, or other intense feelings.

Love As Adjective: “I have a love for art.”

In this, “love” is an adjective because it describes the noun “art.” It tells us what kind of feeling the speaker has towards art. It indicates a strong liking or fondness.

Finally, something to remember:
