Hello Rod

A linking verb connects the subject with some more information about the subject.

These are examples of some of the main linking verbs:

1. Be: I am extremely tired this evening.

2. Look: My hair looks a mess today.

3. Feel: My head feels fuzzy.

4. Taste: This glass of Scotch tastes good.

5. Smell: This pizza smells rather strange.

6. Sound: My neighbours sound very angry.

7. Seem: They seem determined to keep me awake tonight.

Here are some others; if you want to try to make some sentences with them, I'll check them for you:

Appear; Get; Become; Grow; Stay; Keep; Turn; Prove; Go; Remain; Resemble; Run; Lie.

All the best,

MrP

PS: Have you tried the "Reference" link, at the top of the page? If you search on "Linking verbs", you'll find some more information.
