linking verbs

Dear All,

I once read:

"be=is/am/are" can be used as a linking verb. As we can link 'the subject' with Noun, Adjective and Location.

1- I am Lrk.

2- I was happy.

3- I am upstairs.

and this is the case with "have/has/had".

but in the sentense below, be is not being used as a linking verb (instead helping verb) because another main verb is being used.

I am playing chess.

I wanted to ask whether 'will be' is used as a linking verb below as there is no main verb being used!!

"I will be there."

and what about the sentense below. ' will have ' as a linking verb too!

I will have your car.

thank u

"I have your car."

Isn't 'have' here is being used as a linking verb. so i said that 'have/has/had' could be used as linking verb.

Your information is wrong. 'Have' is not a linking verb; it is a transitive verb. I (S) have (V) your car (O)
