Answer 2

Linking verbs show linkage between a subject and an object of a sentence; the subject is restated in some form as the object that follows the linking verb. Examples:

Jennie is my sister. (Jennie = sister) or My feet got wet in the puddle. (feet->wet)

Action verbs express an action of some kind, what the subject can do, did, is doing, will do, etc. Examples:

George was sleeping.

I'm hoping that she will come.

My mom made the cookies.

Let me feel it again. (action)

Answer 4

Action is a noun or an adjective but not a verb. Linking is a verb that can be a noun. Example uses:

As a noun: I could see all the action of the game from where I sat.

As an adjective: I don't enjoy action movies when I'm tired.

As a verb: The road linking Main Street to the interstate is Oak Street.

As a noun: You have to find the linking between the evidence and the suspect.

Answer 5

The verb 'use' is an action verb, a word for an act to apply, deploy, say, hold (etc.) something.

The word 'use' is also a noun, the action of using something or something being used for some purpose.

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 (Mary's feet got wet. feet->wet).

Answer 6

action verbs tells whats happening and linking verbs hook to other words to describe it.

Answer 7

An action verb tells us what is happening and a linking verb connects to another word
