A "copula" is a word used to link a subject and a predicate in a sentence. Common examples include "is", "am", "are", and "be".
Accordingly, an example of such in a sentence would be:
"I am glad to see you."
or
"The group is excited to have been accepted."
In my personal experience, in English 101/102, simple or cliche use of copula is discouraged. Action verbs, instead, can be used in their place.
Examples of sentence avoiding the standard use of copula:
"Seeing you fills me with glee."
or
"The group revels in the news of your acceptance."
Bottom Line: You use copula to link a subject with other subjects, verbs, adjectives, etc. In writing it may be beneficial to use actions to connect the sentence. They too are copula, it just sounds better.
A zero copula is the joining of a subject to a predicate without the use of a copula, such as "the more the merrier".
No. One or the other is correct. We use can plus the infinitive without to: I can do that. But we use ablewith the copula verb ( to be, for example) and the infinitive with to. I am able to do that.
No. Seems is a copula ('linking' verb).
An auxiliary verb helps to form verb phrases, while a copula verb connects the subject of a sentence to a subject complement.
"Is" is not an adverb. It is a form of the verb "to be" that functions as a copula, connecting the subject of a sentence to a subject complement.
A declarative sentence makes a statement or expresses an idea. To write one, start with a subject (who or what the sentence is about) followed by a verb (action) and any necessary objects or complements to complete the thought. For example, "She danced gracefully at the party."

In African American Vernacular English (AAVE), copula deletion, or the omission of forms of "to be" like "is" or "are," can change the structure and meaning of sentences. This deletion can impact the tense, aspect, and mood of the sentence, leading to a unique and distinct way of expressing ideas in AAVE.
