Explanation:

*In traditional grammar and guide books, a linking verb is a verb that describes the subject by connecting it to a predicate adjective or predicate noun. Unlike the majority of verbs, they do not describe any direct action taken or controlled by the subject.

*An action verb animates a sentence, either physically ( swim, jump, drop, whistle) or mentally ( think, dream, believe, suppose, love)

*In English grammar, a helping verb is a verb that comes before the main verb (or lexical verb) in a sentence. ... For example, in the sentence, "Shyla could have walked to school," there are two helping verbs: could and have. Sometimes a word (such as not) separates the helping verb from the main verb
