Why does Visual Studio Code not have intellisense for Unity keywords such as transform, or Vector3?

I am trying to learn Unity3d game development and would really appreciate some help here...

My issue is that upon typing a word such as transform (e.g transform.Rotate), instead of Intellisense lighting it up as a keyword, it highlights other suggestions such as OnTransformChildrenChanged() or OnTransformParentChanged().

Any possible way of fixing this?

I just downloaded Visual Studio Code and the extensions needed to work with Unity3d.

I also have Unity3d's code editor set to Visual Studio Code via Preferences -> External Tools -> External Tool Editor.

I have watched multiple tutorials and downloaded multiple extensions for unity tools in VSCode, but still no fix to the Intellisense.

I realize what my problem was, it had to do with HOW I was opening my C# scripts.

In Unity, instead of double clicking the C# script to open it up in VSCode, Right click the Assets Folder and then choose Open C# Script.

This solved the problem I was having completely.
