Is chase a linking verb

Answer 1

Yes, chased is a verb.

It can also be used as a noun.

A verb is a word that describes an action (run, walk, etc), a state of being (exist, stand, etc) or occurrence (happen, become, etc).

A noun is a word that is used to describe a person (man, lady, teacher, etc), place (home, city, beach, etc) or thing (car, banana, book, etc).

Answer 2

No, the verb to chase is an action verb.

The easy way to recognize a linking verb is that a linking verb acts as an equals sign, the object is a form of the subject (Mary is my sister. Mary=sister); or the subject becomes the object (Mary's feet got wet. feet->wet).

Mary will chase the dog. Mary will chase the bus. Officer Mary will chase the crooks.

Mary is not and does not become the dog, the bus, or the crooks.

Yes, chased is a regular verb.
