A transitive verb MUST have a direct object.
An intransitive verb has action but no object
A linking verb ties the subject to word that is equal or describes the subject.
Look at #'s 4,6,10,12 again.
I have to identify the verbs in the sentence and decide if they are linking,transitive, or intransitive. Please check these and let me know if they are correct.
