The BusyTeacher team has published this article on Linking Verbs List with Worksheets.
In this article, we will discuss a type of verb that describes a state of being. These verbs are referred to as Linking, Helping, or Auxiliary verbs. Unlike typical verbs, these “to be” verbs don’t have to denote action and don’t have any meaning on their own. These verbs (linking verbs) gets their name because they connect the subject with the rest of the sentence.
When there is a “to be” verb, the subject is linked to another word in the predicate. For example, “I am tired.” In this example, the linking verb is “am” and it links the subject “I” to the adjective “tired.”
