Linking Verbs - the Definition and Meaning of a Linking Verb
What is a
verb? The meaning or definition of a
Verb is as follows "A verb is a word which implies action or the
doing of something, or it may be defined as a word which
affirms, commands or asks a question". But what is a Linking
verb? Linking verbs do not express action - they connect the
subject of the verb to additional information about the subject.
They are sometimes called copula or copular verbs. An example of
a linking verb is 'This drink tastes good' - Tastes is the
linking verb which connects the subject (drink) to the adjective
which describes it (good). A linking verb may connect the
subject with a noun (cat, dog etc.), a pronoun (his, him etc.)
or an adjective. Most linking verbs can also be used as action
verbs.
