Linking Verb
Have you felt sad, been elated, or been a good friend lately? If so, a sentence describing you would refer to your state of being, or directly connect you to the thing you were. Such a sentence includes what is called a copular verb or linking verb. When the subject of a sentence is directly linked to its object, the verb used to form that connection is a linking verb.
Though a linking verb may most often come in the form of the aforementioned verb forms, there are a variety of verbs that may be either action verbs or linking verbs, depending upon the context in which they are used. The key difference in determining whether you are dealing with a linking verb or an action verb is whether or not you can substitute a form of to be or sometimes to seem for the verb you are using. Consider these examples of linking verbs: He felt overjoyed at the prospect of a new job. All of these verbs above (to look, to feel, to taste, to smell) can be used in action contexts, which means each can serve double duty as both action and linking verbs. Here are these same verbs used as action verbs: He looked through the book and decided not to buy it. These examples can show how difficult it can be to sometimes determine whether a verb in question is an action or linking verb. There is a simple test that can be done to check, as mentioned above. Check whether a form of the verbs to seem or to be will substitute. In the first four examples, you can easily substitute such verbs in each sentence: She seemed terrible; he was overjoyed; lemon pie is delicious; perfume is heavenly. In the second group, other linking verb forms won’t work. Instead substituting in other linking words renders the sentences ridiculous: He is a book.
Lemon meringue pie tastes delicious.
The perfume smelled heavenly.
She felt the touch of the cat’s tongue on the back of her hand.
The chef tastes all the food before it leaves the kitchen.
He smelled a terrible odor coming from the back of the room.
She is the cat’s tongue.
The chef is all the food.
He is a terrible odor.
