Lesson List


Linking verbs do not have objects.  Linking verbs tell us something about the subject of a sentence.

Joan feels good.
The pie tastes great.
She seems mad.
The rose smells nice.

The verbs in the sentences above point back to the subject.  The verb does not point to an object.  The verbs are called linking verbs because the verb joins another word in the sentence to the subject.  The verb links words together.

Write the linking verbs in each sentence.
