    Linking Verbs

    • A linking verb describes a condition; it links the subject to a description

    • Ex. I feel tired.

    • If the subject is not doing an action, and if you can substitute am, is, are, was, were for the verb and the sentence makes sense, then you probably have a linking verb.

    • The soup tastes delicious. = The soup is delicious.

    • The soup is not tasting something, and I can change the verb to is while keeping the meaning the same, so tastes is a linking verb.
