That's really interesting. I learned a lot of this through conversation so I know it sounds weird to apply a transitive verb to an inanimate object but I never really thought about it.

For intransitive verbs, you'd use が, as in "The rain is falling" 雨が降ってる There are quite a lot of verbs that can take either form. 落ちる(intransitive)、落とす(transitive) for example.
