Explanation:

• Verbs that act as a link between a subject and additional information about that subject are known as linking verbs.
• They don't depict any action; instead, they "connect" the subject to the rest of the phrase.
• Linking verbs include words like "is," "are," "was," "were," and so on.
• However, these linking verbs are used according to different contexts throughout the sentence.
• Although "was" and "were" are both in the past tense, they are employed in distinct ways.
• In both the first and third person (he, she, it) singular, "was" is used.
• In the second person singular and plural (you, your, yours), as well as the first and third person (we, they) plural, "were" is used.
• Similarly, "is" and "are" are both in the present tense but are also employed differently.
• For the third-person singular present tense, "is" is used.
• For the first-person plural present tense, second-person singular and plural present tense, and third-person plural present tense "are" is used.
