A linking verb is never an action verb. Linking verbs act as an equals sign and connect the subject to a subject complement. Example: That soup is delicious (soup = delicious). Action verbs express the action in a sentence. Example: Mary cookedsoup yesterday.

Some verbs can function as linking verbs or action verbs. Taste is one of those verbs.

Linking verb: That soup tastes awful (soup = awful).

Action verb: Bob tasted the soup, but he didn't like it.
