OG 、RON的解释、Prep 08解释有差别的地方关于so ...as to 等用法

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.

还有Manhattan FOV中verb这一节的内容：

        • Action verbs
                ○ Express the action performed by a subject
        • Linking verbs
                ○ Link the subject to a noun or a adjective
                                E.g. Otto is a bulldog; He seems nice.
        • Helping verbs
                ○ Help other words to become complete compound verbs
E.g. He is planning to attend; She will be leaving shortly.

这个Veritas的视频对前面alzn2765的回答进行了诠释（虽然不是针对楼主提问的点，只是今天看到了然后贴出来方便后面有可能会看帖的同学）
简而言之---有时候so ...that 和 so ... as to也许并不是作为split point出现在题中
