No, cold is not a verb. It can be an adjective (It was so cold last night...) or a noun (I can't believe I still have this cold!)

Is turned a linking or action verb?

Turned can be either an action verb OR a linking verb, depending on its function in the sentence. Examples:ACTION VERB: The car turned the corner. (Corner is a direct object receiving the action of transitive verb turned.)LINKING VERB: The night wind turned cold. (Turned links wind to cold, a predicate adjective describing wind.)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 (...wind turned cold. wind->cold).


What is the difference of linking verb and action word?

A linking verb has a complement which describes the subject; an action verb has a complement which is acted on by the verb. For instance: in "he feels the ball" the ball is acted upon by the verb and does not describe "he", but in "he feels cold", the word cold describes "he". The questions are "WHAT did he feel?" for actions and "HOW did he feel?" for linking verbs. (Note: if the complement is included you might get "how" for action verbs, as in "how did he feel the ball?)
