0What do you mean Paco by "how to interpret 01b00copular02b00"? Isn't the verb called copular when it related the subject directly to word (adjective or noun) that follows the verb which itself might have the same meaning as 01b00be02b00 or 01b00become02b00?02br

0 For example, "stand up" in "The pole <stands up> straight" is someway like a copular, because it says "the pole is straight".02br
