Transitive
A direct object receives the action performed by the subject. The verb used with a direct object is always an action verb.
A transitive verb is used with a direct object. Transitive verbs are action verbs that require a direct object to complete their meaning in a sentence. The direct object is the receiver of the action performed by the verb.
No, only certain verbs. For instance, "I live in France" does not have any direct objects because the verb "live" can't take any. "Get"', on the other hand, is a transitive verb = it can (and in English it MUST) take a direct object, that's why we use a "dummy" IT in the sentence: "Do you get IT?".
No, "country" is typically not used as a direct object in a sentence. Direct objects usually receive the action of the verb, and "country" is usually the subject or object of a preposition.
Yes, a verb with no direct object is called an intransitive verb. An intransitive verb can be followed by a prepositional phrase.Examples:They are expected at ten.We were shopping at the mall today.I work at Grammar & Company.

The direct object of the verb 'use' is 'system'.
The direct object normally follows the verb. The verb that precedes the direct object is not a specific type. A good way to see if the phrase following the verb is a direct object is to use the "passive test". Ex. Active voice: The pitcher threw the ball. Passive voice: The ball was thrown by the pitcher. Since we are able to make it passive we can see "the ball" is the direct object. One way I remember it is by asking "The pitcher threw what? The Ball"
The verb 'finish' can be an action verb or a linking verb depending of its use. Examples: Linking verb: You will finish as first. (the object first is a form of the subject you) Action verb: You will finish your broccoli. (the object broccoli is not the same as the subject you)

No, "country" is typically not used as a direct object in a sentence. Direct objects usually receive the action of the verb, and "country" is usually the subject or object of a preposition.
The subject of the sentence is the noun'cooks'.The subject pronoun 'I' is used incorrectly as the direct object of the verb 'were'."The cook was me.""The cooks were Tim and me." (direct object of the verb, use the objective form)"Time and I were the cooks." (subject of the sentence, use the subjective form)
An intransitive verb is simply defined as a verbthat does not take a direct object. There's no word in the sentence that tells who or what received the action.So use would be a transitive verb because we always say -- I use (something) - there must be an object to complete the sentence.
The verb "to use" is transitive, i.e., A uses B, so broom is the direct object.
The personal pronoun 'it' functions as a subject and an object pronoun.Examples:Mary brought home a new puppy. It is very cute but she didn't give it a name yet.The first use of the pronoun 'it' is the subject of the verb 'is'.The second use of the pronoun 'it' is the direct object of the verb 'give'.
