Relating verbs are those verbs that indicate the relationship that exists between two things. Relating verbs are either part of the verb 'to be' - am, is, are, was, were, be, being been; or part of the verb 'to have' - have, has, had.
There are relative and absolute verbs and they define the property of the verb. For example; to break,to repair or to pay (relative verbs) need additional information in order to make sense. ie. break the cup, repair the car or pay the bill. To walk, to sleep or to live would be absolut verbs.
