• It’s time to move on to another type of verb:
the linking verb
![Page 21: Understanding Verbs The heart of a sentence.. The verb shows action. The action can be physical: yell dance kiss](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ccc5503460f94996cd7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The linking verb
A linking verb doesn’t show physical or mental action.
Instead, the linking verb shows a “state of being.”
![Page 22: Understanding Verbs The heart of a sentence.. The verb shows action. The action can be physical: yell dance kiss](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ccc5503460f94996cd7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Here are some examples:
Martin is a carpenter.
This bread seems stale.
We are Marshall.
![Page 23: Understanding Verbs The heart of a sentence.. The verb shows action. The action can be physical: yell dance kiss](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649ccc5503460f94996cd7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Linking verbs don’t show action.
Linking verbs “link” a subject to a descriptive word.
Here are common linking verbs:
Is am was werebe
Being been
