The verb form 'may be' can be a linking verb or an auxiliary verb.

A linking verb "links" the subject to what is said about the subject. Usually, a linking verb shows equality (=) or a change to a different state or place (>). A linking verb requires a direct object; for example:

Linking verb: John may be late. (John>late)

Auxiliary verb: John may be entering the marathon. (John is not and does not become the marathon)
