Question

What kind of verbs are in this statement?

My greatest success in life is my children. That is one job I didn't think I could do, but I did. When you have a dream and work hard at what you want you can do anything. I feel like that if you succeed at the hardest job out there, most likely you can do any type of job.

Answer 1

The kind of verbs in this statement are "states of being" verbs or linking verbs since they describe conditions that exist and are also inactive since no action is performed. The sentence uses present tense, but as stated before they do not perform any action. Since the verbs they are using them most are: is, have, feel and do.
