Is the word became an action verb or linking verb?

Answer 1

The verb 'became' is the past and past participle form of the verb become. The verb became is always a linking verb.

The easy way to recognize a linking verb is that a linking verb acts as an equals sign, the object of the verb is a different form of the subject (Mary is my sister. Mary=sister); or the subject becomes the object (My feet got wet. feet->wet). For example:

Matt became a dentist. (Matt = dentist)

I never became a movie star. (I never = movie star)

Forms of the verb to be and to seem are also always linking verbs.
