Linking verbs do not describe an action â instead, they connect the subject of the sentence to a word describing it or providing additional information about it. For example:
- I feel tired. (âtiredâ describes me) - He seems annoyed (âannoyedâ describes him) - She is a teacher. (âa teacherâ describes her) - They are students. (âstudentsâ describes them)Iâll show you a list of linking verbs, and then weâll look at a lot of examples.
