               Linking Verbs

               A linking verb connects the subject of a sentence with a word that gives
               information about the subject, such as a condition or relationship.
               They do not show any action; they simply link the subject with the
               rest of the sentence. For example, in the sentence "The ball is red.” 'is'
               is a linking verb that connects the subject, ball, to information about
               that subject.
               Linking Verbs: be (is, are, …), become, seem, feel, sound, taste, look,
               smell, appear, remain, stay, prove, turn, etc.
