I put ******by my answer choice...Thank you
Looks to me like STAY is intransitive
ASKED is transitive, since it has an object.
thank you for taking the sentence apart - my thoughts after looking at that
- intransitive verb -
oh - I was reading in the definition for intransitive - misunderstood - these are so hard - I am trying
I'll take that sentence apart for you ~
The - article
teacher - noun, subject
asked - main verb of the sentence
the - article
class - noun, direct object
to STAY put - infinitive form of a phrasal verb (phrasal verbs are common combinations of verb + adverb)
while she went to the office. - subordinate clause, acting as an adverb

It cannot be intransitive.
Transitive verbs take direct objects.
Intransitive verbs DON'T take direct objects.
Thank you

Writeacher if action verb was not a choice (because I looked at the wrong choices when labeling them) then would it be a -
linking verb
transitive verb
intransitive verb or
auxilliary verb and that's why I originally went with linking - my mistake - sorry
