i　"Helping verbs vs. Linking
verbs":　Helping verbs work with the main verb to
give　the reader a better idea of when the action takes
place.　They are used with a　second　verb　to show
tense, form a question or a negative. Some common helping verbs
include　- are, is , was, were, have, had, shall.　　Linking verbs do not express action but simply connect the
subject of the verb to additional information about the subject.
Many forms of the 'to be' verb are　used both as
helping　verbs as well as linking verbs.It is important that
these shouldn't be confused.　Instead, use　stronger verbs
to make the sentence forceful.　E.g. "My job has benefits for its employees." -
Improper　　　　　　"My job
offers　benefits for its employees." - Better　E.g. "Harriet was the CFO for ten years." -
Improper　　　　　 "Harriet served five
years as CFO." - Better
