A linking verbs is a verb that link the subject to the object; a linking verb says that the subject is the subject or is the same as the object. Some linking verbs are am, is, are, was, were, be, been, and being. Examples:

My sister is Mary. (sister=Mary)

My sisters are smart. (sisters>smart)

Bob was the manager. (Bob=manager)

Bob and Beth were together. (Bob and Beth>together)
