Question

what is the linking verb​

Answer 1

Answer:

For example, in the sentence "They are a problem," the word "are" is the linking verb that connects "they" and "problem" to show the relationship between the two words. The most common linking verbs are forms of the verb to be: am, is, are, was, were, being, been.

Answer 2

a linking verb is a verb that describes the subject by connecting it to a predicate adjective or predicate noun (collectively known as subject complements). Unlike the majority of verbs, they do not describe any direct action taken or controlled by the subject.
