Is stuck a linking verb

Answer 1

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

The verb stayed (past tense of to stay) can be a linking verb, for example:

You have stayed the same as I remember you. (You -> same)

The cat stayed at the window all morning. (this is not a linking verb, the window is not another form of the cat)

Answer 2

no... an example of a linking verb is "is"... because when you use it in a sentence -> "My dad is a doctor." "Dad" mean the same thing as "doctor." the subject noun/pronoun mean the same thing as a the direct object; therefore, "is" is a linking verb. "Stuck" is not a linking verb because if you use it in a sentence: "He stuck his fork." "Fork" doesn't mean the same thing as "he"... therefore, "Stuck" is not a linking verb

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 (My feet got wet. feet->wet).
