A linking verb connects a subject and its complement. Linking verbs sometimes called copulas. Linking verbs are often forms of the verb to be as above. But are sometimes verbs related to the five senses (look sound, smell, feel, taste) and sometimes verbs that somehow reflect a state of being (appear, seem, become, grow, turn, prove, remain). What follows the linking verb will be either a noun complement or an adjective complement. See the following examples: This room smells bad. I feel great. A victory today seems unlikely. A handful of verbs that reflect a change in state of being are sometimes called resulting copulas. They, too, link a subject to a predicate adjective. See the following sentences: His face turned purple. She became older. The dogs ran wild. The milk has gone sour. |
