Default BELIEVE verb question

What type of verb is the verb "believe"?

Example usage:

I believe the music sounded old.

I=pronoun
believe = common verb?
the=determiner
music=noun
sounded=linking verb?
old=adjective

Is the verb "believe" the same type of verb as the verb "realize"?

Default Re: BELIEVE verb question

It is similar. I'm not sure what you mean by 'common verb', though. Iyt is the main verb in the sentence.
