Linking verb
Unlike other verbs, linking verbs do not show an action or more accurately, the only action
they show is merely existing. Linking verbs simply explain the state of the subject, such as
what it is or how it looks.

• I am thirteen years old. • This place looks like a mess!

• She seems sad today.

This makes linking verbs different from other types of verbs like ditransitive verbs, phrasal
verbs, or impersonal verbs, which all describe specific actions. In fact, you can categorize
all verbs into two groups, action verbs and linking verbs. However, sometimes a verb can
be either, depending on how it’s used.
Linking verbs define the subject or add more details about it. That means sensory verbs
like appear, look, feel, smell, sound, or taste can act as linking verbs when they describe
the subject.

• Dinner smells burnt. • The cat’s fur felt silky.

While the verbs be, become, and seem are always linking verbs, some other verbs have
one or two particular contexts where they act as linking verbs.

How do you use linking verbs?

Every sentence has two parts: a subject and a predicate. The subject is a noun that
performs the action of the verb and typically comes at the beginning of a sentence. With
normal verbs, the predicate describes the action done by the subject, as with this example:

• Tamara went to the store.

Here, Tamara is the subject, the person who does the action, and went to the store is the
predicate. The verb went, the past tense of the irregular verb go, is an action verb when
used like this. The prepositional phrase to the store is also part of the predicate because it
explains where the action took place.

However, linking verbs have special predicates called subject complements that do not
describe the action but instead describe the subject. Specifically, there are two types of
subject complements, or two types of predicates, for linking verbs:
1. Predicate nominative (predicate noun): when the words describing the subject are
nouns or noun phrases.
• At college, she became an athlete and a scholar.
2. Predicate adjective: when the words describing the subject are adjectives or adjective
phrases.
• I was awake but still sleepy when the sun came up.
Keep in mind that subject complements can also include phrases as part of the predicate
nominatives or predicate adjectives. Let’s look at an example . . .

• They were hungry after a long workout.

In this sentence, the linking verb is “were”, the past-tense plural form of be. The subject
complement is a predicate adjective centered on the adjective hungry. The prepositional
phrase after a long workout explains why and when they were hungry, so it’s also part of
the predicate adjective.

Rules for linking verbs:

1. Don’t use adverbs as the subject complement.

Adverbs describe verbs in the same way that adjectives describe nouns. But subject
complements describe the subject, which is a noun, so we use adjectives instead of
adverbs.
The runner is quickly. The runner is quick.
However, adverbs are okay if they describe the linking verb and not the subject.
• He gradually became kinder and • She hardly seems shy.
more compassionate.
2. In subject-verb agreement, linking verbs match the subject.
When it comes to subject-verb agreement, the linking verb still matches the subject. This
remains true even if the subject is singular and the predicate nominative is plural or vice
versa.

• The weirdest animal is giraffes. • Giraffes are the weirdest animal.

If the sentence still sounds awkward, even though it’s grammatically correct, you can
always rephrase it.

• The weirdest animal is the giraffe.

How do you identify linking verbs?

Aside from the three main linking verbs that are always linking verbs (be, become, and
seem), some verbs can be either linking verbs or action verbs. The difference depends on
how they’re used. This is especially true when it comes to sensory verbs, which can be
both.
A verb is a linking verb if it’s used to describe the subject. Linking verbs always have a
subject complement afterward (except in rare cases like “I think therefore I am”), so look
for a subject complement to determine if the sentence uses a linking verb.
• Liz looks great today.
Here, the verb look is a linking verb because it describes Liz’s appearance. You can also
identify it as a linking verb by the subject complement great today, which explains how Liz
looks.

• Liz looks through the microscope.

Here, the verb look is an action verb, which is to say, not a linking verb. It describes the
action that Liz is doing, not Liz herself. The phrase through the microscope also relates to
the action, describing where she looked.
Some common action verbs have one or two meanings where they act as linking verbs. A
lot of times these verbs appear with certain other words to signal they’re used as linking
verbs. You’ll become familiar with these words as your grammatical skills improve, but
here’s a short list of the most confusing linking verbs to help you get started.
Go is a linking verb when it means become.

• The dog goes wild if she stays • The fruit went bad because it was old.
indoors too long.
Fall is a linking verb when talking about illness or used with the word silent.

• I’m afraid they have fallen ill. • At once, the room fell silent.
Prove is a linking verb with its meaning “to show a certain quality,” but it’s an action verb
with its more common meaning, “to demonstrate with evidence.”

• [linking verb] The theory proved true • [action verb] The trial proved his after
experimentation. innocence.
Act is a linking verb when discussing someone’s behavior or demeanor but an action verb
when discussing dramatic acting as in movies or plays.

• [linking verb] Why do you act • [action verb] He acts in the local suspicious when I
mention him? theater group on weekends.

Come, grow, get, and turn are linking verbs when used to show a change.
• My belt came loose so I made a new • We get bored waiting for the aftercredits
hole. scenes.

• He grew tired of the mind games. •

His hair turned gray, but he’s not any
wiser.
Remain and stay are linking verbs when used in the sense of “continue to be like this,” but
they are action verbs when they describe not moving.
• [linking verb] They remained angry • [action verb] They remained in the the entire car ride.

 Keep is also a linking verb when it means “continue to be like this,” but it is an action verb
in its more common meaning of possession or ownership.

bed.

Stative verbs

Grammar explanation
Stative verbs describe a state rather than an action. They aren't usually used in the
present continuous form.
- I don't know the answer. I'm not knowing the answer.
- She really likes you. She's really liking you.
- He seems happy at the moment. He's seeming happy at the moment.
Stative verbs often relate to:
• Thoughts and opinions: agree, believe, doubt, guess, imagine, know, mean,
recognise, remember, suspect, think, understand
• Feelings and emotions: dislike, hate, like, love, prefer, want, wish
• Senses and perceptions: appear, be, feel, hear, look, see, seem, smell, taste
• Possession and measurement: belong, have, measure, own, possess, weigh.
Verbs that are sometimes stative
A number of verbs can refer to states or actions, depending on the context.
- I think it's a good idea.
- Wait a moment! I'm thinking.
The first sentence expresses an opinion. It is a mental state, so we use present simple. In
the second example the speaker is actively processing thoughts about something. It is an
action in progress, so we use present continuous.
Some other examples are:
Have
- I have an old car. (state – possession)
- I'm having a quick break. (action – having a break is an activity)
See
- Do you see any problems with that? (state – opinion)
- We're seeing Tadanari tomorrow afternoon. (action – we're meeting him)
Be
- He's so interesting! (state – his permanent quality)
- He's being very unhelpful. (action – he is temporarily behaving this way)
Taste
- This coffee tastes delicious. (state – our perception of the coffee)
- Look! The chef is tasting the soup. (action – tasting the soup is an activity)
Simple Past Tense
Uses:
We use the past tense to talk about:
• Something that happened once in the past.
• Something that happened several times in the past.
• Something that was true for some time in the past.
• We often use expressions with ago with the past simple.

Positive structure:

Subject + Verb in past + Complement

Examples:
1. I met my wife in 1983.
2. We went to Spain for our holidays.
3. They got home very late last night.
4. I lived abroad for ten years.
5. He enjoyed being a student.
6. She played a lot of tennis when she was younger.

Negative structure:
We use didn't (did not) to make negatives with the past simple.

Subject + did not/ didn’t + Verb in base form + Complement

Examples:
1. They didn't go to Spain this year.
2. We didn't get home until very late last night.
3. I didn't see you yesterday.
4. I didn't play football yesterday.
5. They didn't go to the theater last month.

1. Did she play tennis when she was younger?
2. Did you live abroad?
3. When did you meet your wife?
4. Where did you go for your holidays?

But questions with who often don't use did and the verb has to be in past form (passive
voice):

5. Who discovered penicillin?

6. Who wrote Don Quixote?

Time expressions:
The time expressions in the simple past in English are those used to indicate that an
action was performed in the past. Some of the most common expressions are:
- Yesterday - When
- Last - At the time
- Ago - In the past
- In - Previously
- On - Prior to

Present Simple Tense

• To express fixed arrangements, present or future:

Ex: Your exam starts at 09.00

• To express future time, after some conjunctions: after, when, before, as soon as,
until:

• We sometimes use the present simple to talk about the past when we are telling a
story:
Ex: I was walking down the street the other day when suddenly this man
comes up to me and tells me he has lost his wallet and asks me to lend him
some money. Well, he looks a bit dangerous so I'm not sure what to do and
while we are standing there …

• summarising a book, film or play:

Ex: Shakespeare's Hamlet is the Prince of Denmark. One night he sees his
father's ghost. The ghost tells him he has been murdered …

Positive Structure:
The present tense is the base form of the verb. But with the third person singular
(she/he/it), we add an –s.

We use do and does with question words like where, what and when:
Examples:
1. Where do Angela and Rita live?
