A transitive verb has a direct object (receiver of the action), while an intransitive verb has no direct object. The verb "to be" is intransitive. In the sentence "The distant rainbow was spectacular," there is no object or receiver of the action (verb) "was." The adjective "spectacular" modifies the verb "was."
