Many verbs (including look) have to be in a sentence in order to determine whether they are action or linking verbs.
A good way to tell if you have a linking verb is substituting the verb "to be" into the sentence. If it makes sense, then you know you have a linking verb. Examples:
Myra looks tired. --> Myra IS tired. Makes sense. Looks is used as a linking verb here.
Joseph looks up at the painting. --> Joseph is up? Doesn't make sense. Looks is an action verb in this case.
There are some verbs that are always linking verb:
- be
- become
- seem
These are the verbs that are sometimes linking verbs and sometimes action verbs:
- appear
- feel
- grow
- look
- prove
- remain
- smell
- sound
- taste
- turn
