Sentences With Copulative Verbs

The sentences with copulative verbs are the sentences whose nucleus of the predicate is a verb of the copulative type. There are three copulative verbs in Spanish: be, be and seem.

This class of verbs are characterized mainly because they function as a link that unites the subject of the sentence with an attribute. That is why they are called copulatives, which means something that joins or links two or more elements.

For themselves, the verbs ser, estar, and appear do not express a complete idea or finished; that is why need an attribute that completes the idea: what or how is something or someone; what or how is something or someone; what or how something or someone looks like. Let's see some examples:

• The boy It seems (copulative verb) afraid (attribute) by the clown.

The copulative verb seem works as a nexus between the subject The boy and the attribute afraid.

• My friend's sister this (copulative verb) pregnant (attribute).

The copulative verb to be works as a nexus between the subject My friend's sister and the attribute pregnant.

• Your are (copulative verb) a frank person (attribute).

The copulative verb to be works as a nexus between the pronoun Your, which is the subject of the sentence, and the attribute afraid.

• Life it is (copulative verb) a journey that we must enjoy (attribute).

The copulative verb to be works as a nexus between the subject Life  and the attribute a journey that we must enjoy.

The attributes that the copulative verb links can be different kinds of words or phrases that report some quality or state attributed to the subject of prayer.

The attributes in sentences with copulative verbs They may be:

• A adverb or adverbial phrase. Examples: “Are you well?”; "The decision you made is very bad”.
