ACTION VERBS Action verbs are words that express action (ex: give, eat, walk, have, own, etc.)

LINKING VERB: A linking verb connects the subject of a sentence to a noun or adjective that renames or describes it. This noun or adjective is called the subject complement.

EXAMPLES: Jason became a business major. (The verb, became, links the subject, Jason, to its complement, a business major.) Lisa is my oldest sister. (The verb, is, links the subject, Lisa, to the subject complement, my oldest sister, which describes Lisa.)

To Be – the most common linking verb (am, is, are, was, were, be, being, been) These verbs are often used as linking verbs *to taste *to appear *to smell *to stay *to sound *to remain *to feel *to prove *to look *to become *to seem

HELPING VERBS Helping verbs (also called auxiliary verbs) are used with a main verb to convey the complete thought.

Verb phrases consist of one main verb and one or more helping verbs (also called auxiliary verbs).

The following words, called modals, always function as helping verbs: can may must shall will could might ought to should would *Modal verbs (helping verbs) are used with action verbs to give the verb more intention or possibility. EXAMPLES: Tanya could learn to fly helicopters. (Could helps the main verb, learn.) Janine will drive to Idaho tomorrow. (Will helps the main verb, drive.)
