@WritingBetter Ma'am, thank you for your reply. But both 'is' and 'seem' are linking verbs. Then, why is 'is' immediatly followed by the phrase- 'drawing to a close' unlike 'seem' ?
When “seem” is used as a linking verb it is followed by an adjective or sometimes a noun. He seems happy. Buying a new car seems a big waste of money when a used one’s works just as well.
