INTRANSITIVE
The verb "is" in this sentence is intransitive because it does not have a direct object receiving the action. Instead, it links the subject ("Sally") to the subject complement ("very patient with her pesky little brother").
No, transitive verbs are action verbs that have a direct object. Is is the only verb in that sentence, and it is a linking verb. Linking verbs are not action verbs.
The verb "is" is a linking verb.A linking verb acts as an equals sign, the object of a linking verb restates the subject of the sentence.Sally = patientThe object of a linking verb is called a subject complement; a noun, pronoun, or adjective that the subject is or becomes.The subject complement "patient" is a predicate adjective.A noun or pronoun subject complement is a predicate nominative.
"Long" is an adjective, not a verb. To figure out if a verb is transitive or intransitive use a direct object to test it.

I come a school. (Makes no sense, "come" needs prepositions like "to" or "from".)
