Action Verbs describe an action that the subject of the sentence performs.
* Examples:
* The dog ran across the park.
* She plays the piano.
* He wrote a letter.
Linking Verbs connect the subject of a sentence to a word or phrase that renames or describes the subject.
* Examples:
* He is happy. (The word "happy" describes the subject "he".)
* My cat is a Maine Coon. (The phrase "a Maine Coon" renames the subject "my cat".)
Important Note: While these are the two main categories, there are other ways to classify verbs, like:
* Transitive verbs require a direct object (the thing receiving the action).
* Intransitive verbs don't require a direct object.
* Auxiliary verbs help other verbs form different tenses or moods.
Understanding the different types of verbs is crucial for constructing grammatically correct and clear sentences.
