The correct answer is False

Explanation:

In grammar, a linking verb is a type of verb that does not express an action but connects the subject to the complement to describe it or explaining, this includes verbs such as "be", "seem" or look. On the other hand, an adverbial clause refers to a set of words that modifies or describes how something is, which means it works as an adverb that describes the mode, frequency, place, timer or degree in which action takes places. This type of clause is useful for describing how something occurs, especially an action. But not to describe how something is or looks, which is the purpose of a definition. Also, adverbial phrases are not usually placed after linking verbs because these verbs do not express action and therefore an adverb cannot be used.

Considering this, it can be concluded placing an adverb clause after a linking verb is not a good way to start a definition, not only because adverbs are not commonly placed after this type of verbs, but because adverbs clauses show how something occurs but not the way something is, which is the information you need to place first on a definition.

2. I really miss teaching in person because I miss seeing
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Simple sentence.

Explanation:

A sentence can be defined as a group of words that comprises of both a subject and predicate used to convey a logical information. Sentences are classified into four (4) main categories and these includes;

I. Simple sentence.

II. Compound sentence.

III. Complex sentence.

IV. Compound-Complex sentence.

In English language, a simple sentence can be defined as a sentence that comprises of a single independent clause, a predicate or verb and a subject. Also, the subject in a simple sentence is joined together by a conjunction such as "and" and "because" to reflect the action that is being performed or done by the verb in the sentence.

An independent clause can be defined as a clause that expresses a complete thought while standing alone as a simple sentence and comprises of at least a subject and a verb (predicate).

Some examples of an independent clause are;

She is a wise woman.

I like her.

She read the whole novel.

Hence, the statement "I really miss teaching in person because I miss seeing students' faces." is a simple sentence.
