    Linking verbs connect the subject to more information about the subject. They do not show action but tell us what something is or how it feels. Example: Shruti is happy. ("is" links "shruti" to "happy")

    Helping verbs (also called auxiliary verbs) are used with main verbs to show tense, voice, or mood. They help form questions, negatives, and other verb tenses. Example: She is running fast. ("is" helps the verb "running")
