As you can see, linking verbs don't show an action but they link the subject of the sentence
to a subject complement (noun or adjective) that renames or describes the subject.
Understanding how to use linking verbs correctly is essential for clear and effective
communication in the English language.
Auxiliary verbs, also known as helping verbs, are used in combination with other verbs to
form different tenses, moods, or voices of other verbs. They do not indicate an action on
their own but they help to indicate the tense, mood or voice of the sentence. Here are some
examples of types of auxiliary verbs:
Auxiliary Verbs
Modal verbs: indicate possibility, ability, permission, or necessity. Examples: "can, could,
may, might, must, shall, should, will, would"
