True Linking Verbs
I've read it on a website that "True Linking Verbs, as their name implies, are always linking verbs and any form of verb "to be" is a linking verb."
But is it necessary for a linking verb to be the main verb of the object.
Consider the following example;
1. He is going to school.
Here "is" is an auxiliary.
So can we call it a linking verb?
