Team Linking Verb A Linking Verb is one that shows a state of being. What follows it will come back to rename or describe the subject of the sentence. Note that we use subject pronouns because of this (I, We, He, She). The only things that can follow a linking verb are predicate nouns and predicate adjectives. ALL OF THESE MUST PASS THE REPLACEMENT TEST!
