@vicky775266 The two are synonymous.

I would recommend you study the function of a linking verb, specifically the verb "to be".

Basically, a linking verb states that one thing is equal to another. In this case:

The action = complete

Whenever you see a linking verb being used, what follow is acting as an adjective, describing the subject and saying that the two are equal.

If I were to say; You are inquisitive, you could read it as: You = inquisitive.

I hope this helps ;)

I like your vedio! But i have some question :

at the tim 5:47, why you say "the action is complete"?why don't you say the action" has completed" ,or "is completed"

thank you so much
