Transitive Verbs
Verbs which transfer their action to an object. In other words, transitive verbs have a direct object.
Note:
For a sentence to have an indirect object, it must
always
have a direct object, but a sentence can have a direct object without an indirect object.Slide12
Intransitive Verbs
Verb that completes its action without an object.
Examples:
I apologized for my late assignment.
assignment is the object of the preposition for; there is no direct object.
I explained about my sore toe.
toe
is the object of the preposition about; there is no direct objectSlide13

Since a linking verb does not express an action, it is intransitive.
