I have grown confused about the state of being verb. In the discussion on earlier posts from the experts, it seems that there is a controversy regarding the very existence of the use of to be as a state of being verb. is the distinction between the linking verb and state of being verb in the usage of to be widely accepted. I have taught it because the distinction is made in the grammar book which our school suggests we use. There seems some doubt whether to be should be distinguished as a state of being verb at all. Clarify this point. Please!!!!
