What type of sentence is made up one or more action verbs helping linking verbs?

This question seems to be asking about the relationship between action verbs and linking verbs, but it's not quite accurate to say that action verbs "help" linking verbs.

Here's the breakdown:

* Action verbs describe an action that the subject performs (e.g., run, jump, eat).

* Linking verbs connect the subject to a noun, pronoun, or adjective that renames or describes the subject (e.g., is, seems, become).

Sentences can have either an action verb or a linking verb, but not both at the same time.

Examples:

* Action Verb: The dog ran quickly. (The dog is performing the action of running).

* Linking Verb: The dog is happy. (The verb "is" connects the subject "dog" to the adjective "happy" which describes the dog).

It's possible to have multiple verbs in a sentence, but they will either be all action verbs or one linking verb and one or more helping verbs.

Example:

* Helping Verb + Linking Verb: The dog has been very tired lately. ("Has been" is a helping verb that helps the linking verb "been" connect the subject "dog" to the adjective "tired").

Therefore, there is no sentence type made up of action verbs "helping" linking verbs.
