The word "grows" can function as both a linking verb and an action verb. When used as a linking verb, it connects the subject to a subject complement that describes or renames it. When used as an action verb, it describes the physical process of increasing in size or developing.
A linking verb acts as an equals sign. The object of a linking verb restates the subject; for example:'We are sisters.' (We=sisters);or the subject becomes the object: 'Our feet got wet.' (feet->wet).The object of a linking verb is called a subject complement.A subject complement can be a noun, a pronoun, or an adjective.The potential linking verbs in the given choices are is and grows.Examples:The train is late. (a linking verb, train=late)James is changing his clothes. (not a linking verb, James is not and does not become his clothes)The sky grows dark at this time of day. (a linking verb, sky->dark)James grows carrots in his garden. (not a linking verb, James is not and does not become carrots)
No. The verb to become is a linking verb, and the verb to be is a linking verb, but they are two separate verbs.
Was is a linking verb.
A subject complement is called a subject complement because it 'completes' the subject; it tells what the subject is or has become. A linking verb 'links' the object to the subject with further information about the subject.When an action verb is used, how it is used determines if it is a linking verb.Example action verbs that can be linking verbs:feel: I feel fine. (I=fine, a linking verb); I feel the warm sand. (not a linking verb, I'm not and I don't become the sand)appear: You appear happy. (you=happy, a linking verb); I look and you appear. (not a linking verb, there is no object)grow: Jim grows taller every year. (Jim=taller, a linking verb); Jim grows roses. (not a linking verb, Jim is not and does not become roses)
