What is a linking verb?

A linking verb is a verb that connects the subject of a sentence to a subject complement, which can be a noun, pronoun, or adjective that renames or describes the subject. Linking verbs do not show action, but instead link the subject to additional information about the subject. Examples of linking verbs include "is," "am," "are," "was," "were," "seem," "appear," "become," and "feel."
