caught = a verb - the past of catch
in = a preposition
nets = a noun - the plural of net
Not all three words-- just one of them. Nets is a plural noun. Traps is a plural noun. The word that links them together is "and" -- a conjunction. Another example: boys and girls. A conjunction is a linking word-- it can link two (or more) nouns, or it can even link two independent clauses and make them into one sentence: I saved my money and I bought a new car.
Squid are caught in nets and killed by suffocation. Cruel?????? Yes...
The word 'and' is a conjunction, a word that connects words, sentences, phrases, or clauses.The conjunction 'and' connects the compound objects of the preposition 'in'.A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.Example: Fish were caught in nets and traps. Theywere cooked on a campfire. (the pronoun 'they' takes the place of the noun 'fish' in the second sentence)
"were caught" is the verb.
They are caught in nets commercially and some will be caught in crab pots at sea, some are caught with a fishing pole.

The two words 'and traps' are a (a) conjunction (and) and a plural noun (traps).The conjunction 'and' joins the compound object of the preposition 'in' (nets and traps).
The nouns are: thousands, years, fish, nets, traps.
There is not a linking verb in the sentence "Thousands of years ago, fish were caught in nets and traps."A linking verb is one that connects the subject to more information about the subject (subject complement). Example: They were happy when the plane landed after a turbulent flight. Were is the linking verb connecting the subject, they, to the subject compliment, happy.An auxiliary verb (helping verb) helps another verb complete the verb phrase. In the predicate were caught, were is an auxiliary verb.

"and" is a conjunction. A conjunction links a word or a group of words to other words in a sentence. For example: "I was eating a hamburger and drinking a Coke.' "and" connects "I was eating a hamburger" with "drinking a Coke.' Other conjunctions are for, nor, but, or, yet, and so.
