The task involves identifying verbs in sentences and classifying them as Action Verbs, Linking Verbs, or Helping Verbs. Here's a brief overview of each type:

1. Action Verbs: These describe actions performed by the subject (e.g., "laughed," "ran," "baked").
2. Linking Verbs: These connect the subject to a noun or adjective that describes or renames it (e.g., "is," "was," "felt").
3. Helping Verbs: These assist the main verb in a sentence to express tense, mood, or voice (e.g., "will," "has," "did").
