补充一个action verb和其他verb的区别，在其他forum看到的
1. Action verb--- Somebody does something and puts up some effort to do it. --- EX: Jack and Jill danced all day long
2. Linking verb: A verb that connects the subject with the predicate. It is called status verb, extant verb because it just indicates a status.
EX: Jack & Jill appear nervous. Here Jack and Jill do not do the action of appearing nervous.
3. Helping verb: This verb cannot act independently. It always combines with another verb to complete the meaning. Is, are, am, do, does, has, have, and being etc are few of the helping verbs etc
EX: Jack has been struggling with GMAT for nearly two years as he is finding the verbal tough.
In between, you will find that some verbs are both action and linking verbs. Examples of such dual verbs are:
EX: 1. appear 2.become 3.feel 4.grow5.look 6.remain 7.seen 8.smell 9.sound 10. stay 11. taste 12. turn 13. prove and some more.
EX: The musician increased the tempo in the last stage of the song.-- active voice.
The tempo of the music increased in the last stages. This verb has no doer, and it is a linking verb in the context.
EX: The ambient temperature increased from25 degrees to 35 degrees.
Take away: Do not expect a doer for every verb.
