  1. What is a Linking Verb? A linking verb shows that the subject exists; it connects the subject of the sentence to other information. If you can replace the verb with am, is or are, it is a linking verb! Example: The rose smelt sweet.

  2. What is a Modal? It could be: can, could, may, might, will, would, must, shall, should, ought or to. In the third person, they don’t take an ‘s’. If you turn them around, they make a question. “She can go” becomes “Can she go?” Example: “She can go” becomes “Can she go?”
