"Has" can function as both a linking verb and a helping verb. As a linking verb, it connects the subject to a subject complement that renames or describes it (e.g., "She has been a teacher for 10 years").

The easy way to recognize a linking verb is that a linking verb acts as an equals sign, the object of the verb is a different form of the subject (Mary is my sister.
