To determine whether a verb is being used as transitive or intransitive, we need to consider if there is a direct object receiving the action of the verb or not.
In the sentence, "The old man watched as the children snuck across his field," the verb "watched" is used as transitive. The direct object of the verb "watched" is "The old man watched what? - as the children snuck across his field."
In the sentence, "I slept over at Martin's last night," the verb "slept" is used as intransitive. There is no direct object receiving the action of the verb "slept."
Therefore, your answer is correct:
1. "The old man watched as the children snuck across his field." - transitive
2. "I slept over at Martin's last night." - intransitive
