    1. In your sentence ‘There is something behind the door’, the verb is the copular verb ‘is’. It is a form of ‘be’. The other forms of be are am, are, was, were, been and being. Copular verbs (is, am, are, was, were) are neither transitive nor intransitive. That means the verb in your sentence ‘is’ is not transitive. Behind is actually a preposition. The noun following it (the door) is the object of that preposition. So, door is the object of the preposition behind; however, ‘something’ is not the object of the verb ‘is’.
