Would has be action verbs or linking verbs?

"Has" can be both an action verb and a linking verb, depending on how it is used in a sentence.

Action Verb:

* Example: "He has finished his homework."

* In this sentence, "has" indicates an action (finishing the homework).

Linking Verb:

* Example: "She has been feeling unwell."

* In this sentence, "has" connects the subject ("She") to a predicate adjective ("unwell"). It doesn't describe an action but rather a state of being.

To determine if "has" is an action verb or linking verb, look at the word that follows it:

* Action verb: If the word following "has" is an action, it is an action verb.

* Linking verb: If the word following "has" is a noun, pronoun, or adjective describing the subject, it is a linking verb.
