What are some common linking verbs?
The most common linking verbs are “be,” “become,” and “seem.” These are also known as “true linking verbs.”
Other common linking verbs include “appear” when it means “seem” and sensory verbs such as “taste,” “feel,” and “smell” (e.g., “this coffee tastes bitter,” “I feel good”).
Apart from “be,” “become,” and “seem,” all linking verbs can also be action verbs depending on whether they’re describing the state of the subject or an action.
