Look up transitive/intrasitive on wikipedia. They have a good explanation and examples

15. Provisional, probational, pro tempore?

Sorry, good luck with the rest!

I'll try the transitive/intransitive verbs, and leave the crosswords to someone else.
Look at the word transitive--it starts with trans. So you think of things being carried, like transportation. A transitive verb carries something over to what they call a direct object--the object is directly affected by whatever the action is. I don't mean to get personal, but suppose you had a sister. If so, sometime in your toddler years, you probably said something like "She hit me!" The verb would be transitive, carrying over to the object. A lotta verbs are like that, carrying over action to an object. Of course, sometimes you have to be careful--in a sentence like, "She gave me the book," it's the book that was given, so book is the direct object--me is the indirect object, just standing around being given the book. Usually, though, you can look and see if there is a noun or pronoun after the verb receiving the action, it's a direct object, and the verb is transitive.
An intransitive verb (think in, as in not) does not carry over the action. It could be in a passive voice (she was hit by me,) it could be no direct object is needed (the skyscraper collapsed), or it could be one of the "to be" verbs like am, is, was, were which just basically indicate someone standing around being something, but nothing happening. (I am cold; you are certain; he is shy)
Hope this helps.
