 'Linking Verbs' atau 'kata kerja penghubung'
- Verb dapat menunjukkan tindakan
- Verb dapat menghubungkan ide satu sama lain
Linking verbs mencakup 'to be' : i, is, we, are, do, does, can, etc.
ada dua sisi dalam linking verbs, yaitu 'Action side' dan 'State of being verb side'
Action side menunjukan apa yang di lakukan, state of being verbs menunjukan keadaan
contoh
Action : The bear eats a fish, The bear looked at me, The bear smells a person.
state of being : The bear is hungry, The bear looked lonely, The bear smells like cinnamon.
Dalam implementasi linking verb, kita harus paham soal auxiliary verb
sebelum ke verb , ada yang namanya subject order.
auxiliary verb = be (continous), have (perfect) , do (simple) , model(future)
be= is, am, are + ing (I am speaking english)
have = have, has, + v3 (I have spoken english)
do = do, does + v1 (I speak english)
model = can, will, shall, etc + v1 (I can speak english)
