Why do you think our volunteers will do your work for you? You don't want the reputation of being an answer moocher.
Once you let us know what YOU THINK the verbs are, someone here will let you know if you're right or not -- and will steer you in the right direction. We will not, however, do your work for you.
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Please do not use capital letters (upper-case letters) for two reasons. First of all, it is more difficult to read and many volunteers will just skip those questions. Secondly, in computer language it is considered rude, like SHOUTING!
Although you asked for no Websites or links, there is the place to teach you what kind of verb you have - transitive, instansitive, active, linking. It is a handy reference when you are not sure.
Now, the name of this board is HELP Board. Although we do not DO the work for you, we are only too willing to help after you try. After all, that is the best way for you to learn - trial and error.
