Certainly! The verb “to be” is a great example of a verb that can function as both a linking verb and an action verb, depending on the context.

As a Linking Verb:

• Example: “She is a teacher.”
  • Here, “is” links the subject “She” to the complement “a teacher,” describing her state of being.

As an Action Verb:

• Example: “They are running in the park.”
  • In this context, “are” helps to describe the action of running, indicating what the subjects are doing.

The context of the sentence determines how “to be” functions in that instance.
