Question

identify whether the italicized words are action verbs, transitive verbs, linking verbs, or helping verbs.

I (used) my textbook to study for the exam. (1 point)
action verb
helping verb
linking verb
transitive verb

The case of the missing sock remains a mystery.

action verb
helping verb
linking verb
transitive verb

Answer 1

mystery should be in ( ) to thats in italics

Answer 2

used is an transitive verb (has both a subject and a noun) and I think mystery is a helping verb

Answer 3

Actually no mystery is a linking verb because it doesn't really have an action

Answer 4

I just want to say that @MathBlonde is correct, used is an transitive verb and mystery is a linking verb . :)

Answer 5

And the second one is a linking verb because "remains" connects with the word mystery , which describes or tells what the case is.

"The case is a mystery."
