WHAT IS A LINKING VERB? A linking verb shows that the subject exists; it connects the subject of the sentence to other information. If you can replace the verb with am, is or are, it is a linking verb! Example: The rose smelt sweet.

WHAT IS A MODAL? It could be: can, could, may, might, will, would, must, shall, should, ought or to. In the third person, they don’t take an ‘s’. If you turn them around, they make a question. “She can go” becomes “Can she go?” Example : “She can go” becomes “ Can she go ?”

IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN AUXILIARY VERB AND A MODAL? A modal verb adds information to another verb. It can give tense or mood. An auxiliary verb is a helping verb. It turns a present participle into an action verb. Example:: “She can go” becomes “ Can she go ?”

ACTION AND LINKING VERBS An action verb is a doing word it means doing a physical thing. A Linking verb is a word that is links the subject to the noun or adjective in a sentence. When a sentence has a linking verb the complement must be a noun or an adjective.

A PRESENT PARTICIPLE WITH A VERB A present participle is a verb that end in “ing” that why we call it a PP.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN INTRANSITIVE VERB AND A TRANSITIVE VERB A transitive verb is a verb that is followed by a noun or a pronoun. It requires a subject and an object for it to work e.g. the boy went to go play with the ball. (The boy is the subject and the ball is the object. Without the object the transitive verb is unclear. The transitive verb has to be and action verb. An intransitive verb is a verb that has to have a linking and an action verb that does not take an object.

HOW TO IDENTIFY AN ACTION VERB. An action verb is a doing word like ran, sit, speak. To figure out how to find an action verb you find a verb then ask can I………? Example : Katie jumped up and down in joy!

WHAT IS AN AUXILIARY VERB? Auxiliary are being verbs but they are named differently. E.g. is, should, are, must… this verbs help the to emphasise the PP. Example: The boy must play guitar

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BEING VERB AND LINKING VERB IS… being verb is not an action verb it comes in when there is no verbs like there is a dog (being verb in it), but a linking verb is connects the subject if the sentence to other information
