  6. The main verb can be an action verb or a linking verb. Linking verbs link the noun with another noun or an adjective; there is no "action": You *seem* happy today. They *are* electricians.

    The main–and only–verbs in those sentences are "seem" and "are."

    A sentence only has a main verb if it also has an auxiliary verb, or "helping" verb. Auxiliary verbs can be used with action or linking verbs. With an action verb: You should walk to school. Aux: should. Main: walk. With a linking verb: It can seem like a problem when it really isn't. Aux: can. Main: seem
