Explanation:

1. Identified the main action/linking word in each sentence for questions 1-3.
2. Classified bold verbs as action (shows doing) or linking (connects subject to description) for 4-6; classified as transitive (takes object) or intransitive (no object) for 7-8.
3. Determined voice (active = subject does action; passive = subject receives action) for 9-10.
4. Selected verb tense matching time cues (yesterday = simple past; in the past = past perfect) for 11-12.
