A linking verb connects the subject to a predicate adjective or predicate nominative (both are also known as subject complements). Subject complements provide more information about the subject. Linking verbs act as an equals sign (=).
Subject + linking verb + predicate adjective: Leah is happy. (Leah = happy)
Subject + linking verb + predicate nominative: Justin is a musician. (Justin = musician)
