Action verbs and helping verbs work together to describe the state of or action of the subject. Some words that are helping verbs can be used as a main verb. Examples:

Jack is a student. ('is' is the main verb in the sentence)

Jack is walking to class. ('is' is the helping verb and 'walking' is the main verb in the sentence)
