An action verb shows action.

Ex. dance, sing, act, study, cook, etc.

Selenia knows how to dance.

* dance is the action verb...

A linking verb does not show action. It links the subject of the sentence to a word in the predicate.

Ex. are, were, is, am, etc.

The students are going to a field trip.

* are is the linking verb.

An action verb shows an action that a person or thing does, like "run" or "eat." A linking verb connects the subject of a sentence to a noun or adjective that describes or renames it, like "is" or "seems."
