How do you use linking verbs in a sentence?

Answer 1

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).

Answer 2

Linking verbs connect the subject of a sentence to a subject complement, which can be a noun, pronoun, or adjective that renames or describes the subject. For example, in the sentence "She is a doctor," "is" is the linking verb connecting "She" to the subject complement "doctor." To use a linking verb effectively, identify the subject and then choose a verb that links it to the complement that provides more information about the subject.
