is, am, were, was, are, be - the list is quite extenstive and depends on the sentence they are in.
Linking verbs connect a subject to a predicate adjective or predicate noun - they do not show action.
Good study timing = Annie studies for an hour every night after dinner
Good study conditions = <span>Jared and his friends study in the school library.
Bad study timing = </span><span>Mike studies before he goes to bed for as long as he can stay awake.
Bad study conditions = </span><span>Melinda likes to watch TV while she studies.</span>
Answer:
An appositive phrase is when you add another name or title to a noun. It looks something like this:
Ginger, my cat, is named Ginger.
The appositive phrase is the "my cat", because you already know that I'm talking about Ginger, but the "my cat" provides more information.
Appositive phrases/words are always right next to the noun they are helping desrcibe, and can use commas like my cat example, or not.
Anyways, they're used to help describe nouns and give more context and information about that noun without sounding like this:
Ginger is named Ginger. Ginger is my cat.
I hope this helps!
