Linking Verbs: Linking verbs are verbs that do not show action but instead link the subject of the sentence to more information about the subject. Examples of linking verbs include be, become, seem, look, feel, sound, taste, and smell. Subject Complements: When a linking verb is used, it is followed by a word or phrase that describes or further identifies the subject. These words or phrases are known as subject complements. Action Verbs: Action verbs are used to describe an action. These verbs are usually used to show what the subject of the sentence is doing. Examples of action verbs include walk, run, jump, think, and write.
