Would 'Does has is' be action verbs or linking verbs?
Active verbs show 'action', such as:
I kicked the ball.
I rode my bike.
She called her mother.
He lifted weights.
Sally drove home.
Linking verbs are 'passive' verbs. A passive verb does not DO any action. It links to the action, often by using a form of the word "be". Is, was, were, have, had are all passive verbs. In addition to thinking of these as linking verbs, you could think of them as lazy verbs because they point the way to action but do not do the action.
I will kick the ball.
I have ridden my bike.
She has call her mother.
He is lifting weights.
Sally will drive home.
