a) Linking Verbs (since the verb WAS does not express any action and only connects the subject (boy) to the other words of the sentence
Explanation:
- A linking verb is a word which connects the subject of a sentence to other words in the predicate. The most common linking verb is the verb to be (am, are, is, were, was, was being, will be, and has been).
- Linking verbs serve as a link connection between a subject and further information about that subject. They do not convey/express action; instead they link the subject with the rest of the words within the sentence.
- A linking verb joins the subject with a word which provides information concerning the subject, such as a relationship/condition
- To appear, to seem, and to become are too linking verbs, for example, It always seems impossible until it is done. However, some verbs can be linking verbs/non-linking verbs depending on the context, for example, Tia always smells like flowers (Here, smells is a linking verb since describes Tia (subject) and does express any action)
