Is sick / is in deep trouble

HI,1. In [He is sick], how to define the [is]?I can not guess. But I can guess that the [is] : causative verb to the pitch from a British professor.2. In {He was in deep trouble.}, how to define the [is]?I can guess the [is] is anti-causality verb to the pitch from his in [Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.] and [Jack's in love, he's no judge of Jill's beauty.]Could any one tell my guess correct or not?If right so, could you tell me the reason for, because the two ways used to express the same feeling.The other side, I know different pitchs give different meanings.
