Linking Verbs
• Linking verbs act as an equals (=) sign in the sentence.
• The subject is not doing anything. Instead, it is or is like something else in the sentence.
• Linking verbs tell us that the subject has a word in the predicate that renames it (a noun) or describes it (an adjective).
• In other words, they are equal.

Remember, to find the subject, ask yourself, “Who or what are they talking about?”
