In Kai's examples, the word "is" is the verb. It's called a "state of being" verb. Ask yourself this question of the subject of the sentence, in this case the optics. "What does this sentence tell me that the optics are doing?" If the only answer you can give is that they are existing, then your sentence has a state of being verb.
We won't go into the permutations in the event that "scratch" is the verb. ;) |
