The verb 'grew' can be a linking verb. 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).

In the context of 'the sky grew overcast', the verb 'grew' is a linking verb (sky->overcast).

In the context of 'John grew vegetables', the verb 'grew' is not a linking verb.
