"Felt" can function as both an action verb (e.g., "She felt the soft fabric") and a linking verb (e.g., "She felt happy"). To determine its role in a sentence, you can check if it is directly followed by an object (action verb) or a subject complement (linking verb).
A transitive verb is a type of action verb that takes a direct object. To identify a direct object, find the verb and ask "what or who" receives the action of the verb.Example:Mark threw the ball. (ball is the direct object of the verb threw)A linking verb is a type of verb that connects the subject to a predicate adjective or predicate nominative (both also know as the subject complement). True linking verbs are any form of be, become, and seem. Because linking verbs never express an action, they cannot be transitive.Examples:Ashley seems happy. (happy is the predicate adjective)Kevin is a doctor. (doctor is the predicate nominative)Some verbs can be both action verbs and linking verbs. Feel is an example this.Example:Hannah felt the fabric, and it feels nice. (felt is a transitive verb, fabric is the direct object; feelsis a linking verb, nice is the predicate adjective)Hint: replacing the verb with an equals sign (=) will help identify if the verb is an action verb or a linking verb. In the sentence "Hannah felt the fabric", the verb cannot be replaced with an equals sign. "Hannah=the fabric" does not make sense. However, in the sentence "It feels nice", the verb can be replaced with an equals sign. "It=nice".
