10/24 LINKING VERBS: A REVIEW

 Linking verbs are verbs that do not show action. They express a state or condition.  These verbs link to the subject a noun, a pronoun, or an adjective that describes or identifies the subject.  Examples The happy cat | looked for the ball. "Looked" functions as an action verb The cat | looked happy. "Looked" functions as a linking verb.  It is the FUNCTION of the verb in the sentence that determines if it is a linking verb. LINKING VERBS

 Forms of to be are sometimes used as linking verbs is am are was were be being been COMMON LINKING VERBS

 Verbs that are sometimes used as linking verbs feel taste look smell appear grow remain stay turn seem sound become prove MORE LINKING VERBS

 The linking verb connection between the subject to the noun or adjective is something like an equal sign. She is tall. -- She = tall.  If you can substitute am, is, or are and the sentence still sounds logical, you have a linking verb on your hands.  Examples I am calm. The be verb am links I and calm. Calm describes my state of being. George Washington became the first president. Became links George Washington and president. Check by saying, George = president, or President George Washington, or substitute the linking verb with a form of "to be“ as in: George Washington was president. A WAY TO CHECK

 The monkey looked hungry.  The monkey looked for food.  The soup tasted good.  I tasted the soup.  He grew into a tall man  He grew tired of walking.  Mother appeared happy at her party..  Mother appeared quietly in the room.  The singer appeared nervous.  The singer appeared on television. ACTION OR LINKING VERB?

 A verb phase is made up of a main verb and one or more helping verbs. Helping verbs help the main verb to express action or make a statement.  The forms of to be can also be used as helping verbs such as in the following sentence:helping verbs  Terry is looking. In the sentence above, "is" does not function as a linking verb. "Is looking" tells what Terry is doing (the action), not what Terry is being. LINKING OR HELPING VERB?  Patricia is watching television.  Maria was searching for a new hobby.  The golden retriever is friendly.  The student could remember the answer.  We will walk to the pizza place.  Sidney Crosby is awesome at ice hockey.
