Could anyone tell me exactly where or which worksheet is on blackboard that could assist me with the questions about Transitive, Intransitive, and Equative? Please and thank you!

Hey Emily,
It was something we did in class on the board. Here is what I have:
EXAMPLES:
Intransitive-
The dog eats. (Dog-NOUN, Eats-VERB)
Transitive-
The dog eats bones. (Dog-NOUN, eats-VERB, BONES-direct object)
Equative-
The dog is brown. (Dog-NOUN, brown-ADJECTIVE, is-form of to-be that links DOG and BROWN).
So, an intransitive sentence just has a noun and verb. A transitive senttence has a noun, verb, and direct object. You should find the verb, then be able to ask "Who?" or "What?" So in our example, we know it is eating (what?)- BONES! An equative sentence will have a linking word (a form of to-be: is, am, was, were, are).
Hope this helps!
The week that is marked October 1, chapter 13, when we studied Language Analysis has websites on transitive and intransitive.
There is a really good BLOG post that helped me to figure it out! Good luck!
Thanks for posting this! I was wondering where this was as well for I missed class that day due to a doctors appointment!
Yeah for some reason I've had the hardest time trying to see the difference. I guess I need to work on my basic grammar skills again.
