A 'joining word' - related to 'couple, 'copulate'... and so on: Copula (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Until I read your question I thought it was a typo for 'scapula'.)

what is the meaning of copula

NOT A TEACHER


(1) Another popular term for a copula is a linking verb.

(2) In English, we always have to have a verb.

(3) Sometimes a verb does not show action.
(a) It is something like the equals symbol (=).

(4) For example, in some languages you can say:

She beautiful.

(a) In English, however, we must say She is/looks beautiful.

(i) As you can see, those copulas connect the word "She"

with the word "beautiful." (She = beautiful)

(5) As you know, the most common copula is "to be."

(a) As I said, in some languages, you can say "Today very hot."

(i) But in English, we must say "Today is very hot," " I am hungry," "They

were sick," "Next month will be February," "The cake smells good,"

"Mr. X seems like a very nice and kind teacher."
