Idenity the helping and linking and action verbs in the sentence She Works at an automobile manufacturing?

Question

plant in Michigan

Answer 1

In the sentence, "She works at an automobile manufacturing plant in Michigan," there is only one verb: work. This is an action verb, as she is obviously doing action by working.

Helping verbs "help" (obviously) other verbs, as in "We will teach the class." Teach is the main verb, will is the helping verb.

Linking verbs (also known as "state-of-being verbs") link one part of a sentence to the other: "My cat was lazy," where the linking verb is 'was' because it links "cat" to "lazy."

Hope that helps!!

Answer 2

First answer is good.

But I would add that "linking" or "intransitive" verbs
have to do with a state of "being" or "feeling"

If I "am bad" or I "feel bad"
"bad" describes the subject "I",
so "am" and "feel" are linking verbs,
not action or transitive verbs.
(If I said "I can feel the bottom of the pool" then "feel" would be a transitive or action verb since "feel" describes a physical action.)

So any verb based on "to be" is a linking verb.
And sometimes other words can be a linking verb
depending on how they are used.
