In your example, "are excited" is a linking verb. Normally, an action verb shows some kind of activity-- to run, to jump, to hike, to eat, etc. But a linking verb only shows the state of being of the subject-- and no action. Some of the most common linking verb include: "is," "are," "was," "were," "will be," and sometimes "seems" or "becomes." So, a sentence like "Kevin, Charles and Mark are excited because their team won the prize" would have a linking verb-- are excited describes how Kevin, Charles and Mark are feeling.

â 11y agoThe verb to enjoy (enjoys, enjoying, enjoyed) 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).
