Verbs requiring an object are transitive verbs. In the sentence, "I threw the ball," threw is transitive. By contrast, in the sentence "I run," run is intransitive, because it does not require an object.
Many verbs can be transitive or intransitive, depending upon the context. For example, in "I run the course each morning," run is now a transitive verb, because it has an object. (The object, by the way, is the thing being acted upon. The subject is the thing doing the acting.)

∙ 11y agoYes, a linking verb is not a linking verb unless it has a direct object.
A linking verb acts as an equals sign, the object of the verb is a different form of the subject (Mary is my sister. Mary=sister); or the subject becomes the object (My feet got wet. feet->wet).

"He gave me five dollars."
"I tell you the truth."
Indirect objects are also supported by "lend", "throw", "save", "leave":
"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears."
"I threw him the ball."
"I saved you a slice of pie."
"He left me nothing."

What is a transative verb?

Is the verb apologize transitive?
It is. It requires an object. Although, I suppose a better way to state it would be "giving an apology to someone." Apologize is technically trivalent. It requires a subject, namely, someone doing the giving. It always requires an object, namely, the apology being given. (although it is not specifically mentioned in the verb "to apologize," it is still an object.) Finally, it requires an indirect object, a "goal," if you will, namely, the person to whom you are giving the apology. In the verb "to apologize," the specific object (the apology) is included IN the verb. Thus one only sees the subject and the indirect object in the verb "to apologize."
