Linking Verbs Worksheets. Linking verbs do not show action but instead they rename or describe a subject. A linking verb connects the subject part with a noun or adjective in the predicate part.
Linking verbs connect the subject to the complement. Linking verbs (am, is, are, was.) connects the subject of a sentence to words describing the subject . Instead their purpose is to link the subject to the remainder of the sentence.
Linking verbs are sometimes called being verbs, as they express states of being.
In these worksheets, students classify verbs as linking verbs or action verbs.
Linking and helping verbs may not be the most exciting or understood verbs — but they are still important! Linking verbs connect subjects with words that tell more about the subject. In this worksheet, kids use linking verbs to complete each sentence.
