A trip to the botanical gardens requires both helping <strong>and</strong> linking verbs. For the<br />

underlined verb in each sentence, write H for helping or L for linking. Then write<br />

each linking verb in a post of the fence at the bottom of the page. You should have<br />

enough to make the link from one side of the fence to the other.<br />

1. We had never gone to the botanical gardens before.<br />

2. The day was perfect, not too warm <strong>and</strong> not too cool.<br />

3. The bus trip seemed endless.<br />

4. At last, we could get out <strong>and</strong> stretch.<br />

5. The gardens looked inviting.<br />

6. As we entered, the workers appeared proud of their efforts.<br />

7. Our teacher said we should be careful <strong>and</strong> neat.<br />

8. Damon whispered, “I will be careful.”<br />

9. After a pause he added, “I am always neat.”<br />

10. I had made notes of flowers I wanted to look for.<br />

11. Some of the flowers smelled great.<br />

12. I could not keep myself from sneezing.<br />

13. I sneezed so loud that I felt embarrassed.<br />

14. I decided I would not let that spoil the day.<br />

15. I hope we will return to the botanical gardens sometime soon.<br />

At Home: Time yourself for a certain period when you’re<br />

going to be with family. Take extra care not to use any<br />

helping or linking verbs. How does your speech sound?<br />
