It's a verb. "Is" is a helping verb to go with "lined."

"Is" is a verb. "Lined" is an adjective. I memorized this in the 7th grade, to help answer those types of questions. They are the most common State-of-Being (or Helping) verbs: Am Are Be Been Being Can Could Did Do Does Had Has Have Is May Might Must Shall Should Was Were Will Would. If you want, I can also give you the 75 most commonly used prepositions. ^_^

My grammar is a little rusty, but I think its a preposition...I'm probably extremely wrong though..

In this case "lined" is a verb. "Miss Jones, please line this skirt with silk. And please line the pants of that itchy tween suit with cotton." Verb it is...

Is (is) a verb. So is lined. In english, our verbs are pretty weak compared to the verbs of other languages, so they need helper-verbs. Generally, to be(is) and to do. For example "What sports do you like?" Do is not an active verb here because it is just helping. But it would not make sense just to say. "What sports you like?" (we would get it, but we would think you were a caveman/woman). In the sentence "This skirt is silk-lined." Silk-lined is an adjective because it describes the skirt, it does not tell the state of the skirt. Think of "is" as milk, and "lined" as coffee. Apart, they are still drinks (verbs) but together they make an even better drink (a strong verb).
