What is a Linking Verb?
A linking verb expresses a state of being by linking the subject of the sentence to another word in the predicate that provides additional information about the subject.
Some examples of linking verbs would be the following:
Charlotte is the president of the club.
(“is” links the subject “Charlotte” to the word “president”)
I am the smartest student in the room!
(“am” links the subject “I” to the word “student”)
The parents were our biggest fans.
(“were” links the subject “parents” to the word “fans”)
