An action verb shows activity-- it shows the subject doing something: to run, to dance, to eat, to climb, etc. Jerry ran for the bus. Maria eats her lunch in the cafeteria. A linking verb shows no action-- it only shows the state of being of the subject. You can tell a linking verb because it has "is" or "are" or "was" or "were": David is happy. The twins are cute. We were busy last week.
The two kinds of verbs are action verbs and linking verbs.
