    Study Notes

    Copula

    • Refers to the verb "be" or its derivatives acting as the main verb in a sentence.
    • Functions to link the subject to a complement that provides more information about the subject.

    Auxiliary Verb

    • Serves as a helper to the main verb in a sentence.
    • Primary auxiliary verbs include 'do', 'have', and 'be'.
    • Important for indicating tense changes in verbs.

    Copula vs Auxiliary Verbs

    • Copula verbs, often known as linking verbs, connect the subject to a noun or adjective in the predicate.
    • Auxiliary verbs aid the main verb without altering the core meaning.
    • Example: "She IS sleeping," where "IS" is an auxiliary verb and "SLEEPING" is the main verb.

    Brown's Grammatical Morphemes

    • Emergence of grammatical morphemes occurs when toddlers begin to combine two or three words.
