Linking verbs and helping verbs

LINKING VERBS
A linking verb is a verb that connects the subject with an adjective or a noun that
describes it.
For example:
"Am"
"Become"
"Turn"
Example sentences:
"I am a singer." (AM connects the subject I with the noun SINGER.)
"She became angry." (BECAME connects the subject SHE with the adjective ANGRY.)
"Amy turned red." (TURNED connects the subject AMY with the adjective RED.)

HELPING VERB:
A helping verb (also called an "auxiliary verb") is a verb that is used together with the
main verb of the sentence to express the action.
Main verb + helping verb = a complete idea
The main helping verbs are:
be, am, is, are, was, were, do, did, have, has, had.
Example sentences:
"We have eaten." (HAVE is the helping verb, and EATEN is the main verb. They are used
together to express the action.)
"They are WORKING ." (ARE is the helping verb, and WORKING is the main verb. They
are used together to express the action.)
"She has been studying all morning." (HAS and BEEN are the helping verbs, and
STUDYING is the main verb. They are used together to express the action.)
"You will win." (WILL is the helping verb, and WIN is the main verb. They are used
together to express the action.)
