English Grammar: Linking Verbs (Copula)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.พ. 2025
- "Be", "seem", "look", "sound", and more are examples of linking verbs in English. These are also called copula verbs. They are special because they do not involve an action, even though some may be used in a similar way to action verbs. In this grammar lesson, we’ll learn how to use these linking verbs in English, in what situations to use them, and how to recognize them when we see them. It may appear difficult, but it’s much simpler than it seems. www.engvid.com...

Hello everyone, if you want to improve your english by reading books and for more , I invite you to my channel :) .
Adams thank much for your wonderful lesson frantic whenever I’m listening to your video
Mr. Adam can we call a multi-episodic movie called The Game of Thrones as a word - serial.
I came across 2 words which seem to me the same, such words as: serial and the series.
Could you please explain this word (serial) related to film?
Back in 2012 when I just started emerging myself into English environment and struggled with speaking and understanding my English teacher in extra classes which cost dramatically expensive. I had been learning English on TH-cam a lot! I had watched so many teachers but still couldn't feel confident about the gist in each video. Actually Mr. Adam from Engvid was the first teacher to whom I understood and learnt how to speak. I sincerely appreciate you Mr. Adam for your contribution in my future.
You're a great teacher!
Adam thanks for your understandable lessons
Your an amazing teacher
You have a clear voice and I can understand you
Thank u so much for such useful content
Linking verb is very hard
ありがとうございます！
I am an English language teacher. Your video really helped me a lot to specify the Verbs that show some possibility in change of the state or situation of the Subject. These verbs include getting, become etc.. Now it's easy for me to explain the verbs like these more clearly to my students without messing up their minds with confusion to these. Thanks a lot! ♥️
Great lesson! I believe that money doesn't change people's personality. It just reveals what people have always been (just my opinion). Thanks a lot for this lesson. You make any topic easy to understand. You're the man!!
Thank you Adam, I’m in 4th grade right now, and I got confused on my English homework about linking verbs. I went to TH-cam and I found your video, and it helped me so much! Thank you so much!
Finally a good english teacher on TH-cam, i was rid of those "don't say this or don't say that" guys and never explain a thing in their videos just how to butcher the english
Adam, you are the best English teacher I have ever seen when it comes to grammar. I have learned a lot of stuff watching your videos. Keep up the great lecture you have been doing.❤️

Although I know how to use all of these verbs, I really enjoyed watching this video.
Refreshing our knowledge from time to time is the best way to keep our English active.

I certainly don't know about others but your concept of be is like equal to(=) has absolutely amazed me!!
I am from Russia. Thanks a million, Teacher. You give us a great opportunity to make our English more perfect.
"more perfect"?? Where have you heard this phrase? Do you use this phrase in Russian as well?
Oh, yes. I agree with you. Maybe " better " instead of " more perfect" . Thank you.
Галина Норикова 👨🏻🏫 Hello. In your sentence you need the adverb ‘perfectly’ not the adjective - ‘more perfectly’.
Correction. ‘Perfectly ‘ does not need a modifier. It is the ultimate and without requiring further explanation. The same applies to ‘best’ or ‘greatest’ and similar superlatives.
@@sirmeowthelibrarycat You are absolutely right. That was a mistake. Thank you.
It's really nice to see your new videos Mr. Adam

Hello i am Eda from Turkey. I would like to speak with somebody who speaks english on the instagram. Please let me know if you want to contact with me.
Thanks for the superb lesson. I understood the main point of this lesson. I'd like to use copular verbs more often from now on. I feel like I can use copular verb expressions naturally if I practise using them with native speakers online.

Copula verbs..that is good to know and how to use them.. I would write my example here. It seems to have a nice weather today. My friend appears to have been given up his motivation.
Han Han 👨🏻🏫 Hello, Han. Mr Teacher here in England 🏴. There is some confusion about your examples. I can help you with them.
The first sentence should be like this - ‘It seems to be nice weather is on the way tomorrow ‘.
The second sentence is better like this - ‘My friend appears to have lost some of his motivation to learn English.’
These are advanced grammar structures so well done for trying so hard to understand them.
@@sirmeowthelibrarycat Thank you so much Mr teacher.. I appreciate it..and I will follow your correct advise in grammar.
Thank you,be my teacher :)
You are wonderful.
