Linking verbs do not describe an action – instead, they connect the subject of the sentence to a word describing it or providing additional information about it. For example:

• - I feel tired. (“tired” describes me)
• - He seems annoyed (“annoyed” describes him)
• - She is a teacher. (“a teacher” describes her)
• - They are students. (“students” describes them)

I’ll show you a list of linking verbs, and then we’ll look at a lot of examples. If you want to download this lesson to save it and review it later, click here and enter your e-mail address to get the free PDF.
