Linking VerbsA linking verb does
not express action like we think of “action”
It links the subject of a sentence to a word in the predicate
![Page 7: Verbs](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051421/5681649c550346895dd67c56/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Linking or Action?BE CAREFUL: The same verb can be linking or
action, depending how it is used Action
“The cook tastes the fish before serving it.”
Linking “This fish tastes delicious.”
![Page 11: Verbs](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051421/5681649c550346895dd67c56/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Be Careful! Infinitives are NOT verbs
BE CAREFUL: An infinitive (the word “to” followed by a verb), is NOT a verb
I am going to go to the store.How hard is it to operate this
computer?It is hard to feel bad for criminals.
![Page 12: Verbs](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051421/5681649c550346895dd67c56/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Helping VerbsOther things to keep in mind: •Not every sentence will have a helping verb with the main verb.
•When you see an "ing" verb such as "running", be on the lookout for a helping verb also.
![Page 13: Verbs](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051421/5681649c550346895dd67c56/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Verb Phrases
Action and linking verbs are sometimes combined with one or more auxiliary
verbs -- also called helping verbs -- to form a verb phrase.
