    LINKING VERBS

    Linking verbs are sometimes described as performing the function of an equal sign because they
    provide the connection between the subject of a sentence and a certain state.

    Ø Shows a relationship between the subject and the sentence complement, the part of the
    sentence following the verb

    Ø Connects or links the subject with more information — words that further identify or
    describe the subject

    Ø Identifies a relationship or existing condition
