Patience does not have a verb form, but you can describe a person as being patient, or waiting patiently, or as having a lot of patience.

Is manifest a reflexive verb?

Manifest is a TRANSITIVE verb - and not an intransitive verb. You can say - "The patient is manifesting the symptoms of Ebola." You CANNOT say "Ebola manifests in the patient." YUCK! You could say "Ebola manifests itself in the patient", i.e. you can use manifest reflexively - since the reflexive pronoun is really the object of the TRANSITIVE verb manifest. But FAR TOO MANY IDIOTS try to sound intelligent by using manifest intransitively!


The doctor was treating the patient Is the sentence in an active or passive voice?

The active voice. The subject of the sentence ('the doctor') is the 'doer' of the action of the verb ('was treating'). If it were in the passive voice it would read 'The patient was being treated by the doctor.' The subject of the sentence ('the patient') would be the 'recipient' of the action of the verb ('was being treated').


Is observed the patient's reaction a subject or predicate?

"Observed the patient's reaction" is a predicate. A suitable subject would be "The doctors", "the nurse", or "the researchers."


Sally is very patient with her pesky little brother transitive or intransitive sentence?

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.


Is the verb die a transitive?

No, the verb 'to die' is intransitive because it cannot take a direct object. Typical uses of 'die' are: 'The patient died/is dying/was dying etc.' (all analysed as subject+verb, i.e S-V). 'The patient died last week' (analysed as subject+verb+adverbial, i.e S-V-A). Even in 'he died a terrible death' where 'died', appears to be transitive, it's actually intransitive because the phrase 'a terrible death' is an adverbial telling us the manner of the patient's death. Hope that helps.
