A linking verb is used to connect its subject with a subject complement, which is typically a noun, pronoun, or adjective that describes or identifies the subject. The purpose of a linking verb is to assert a state of being or a condition about the subject. It essentially serves as an equals sign, indicating that the subject is equivalent to the complement. Common linking verbs include "be" verbs (am, is, are, was, were) and sensory verbs like "seem," "become," "feel," "look," "taste," "smell," and "sound."
For example, in the sentence "The sky is blue," the linking verb "is" connects the subject "the sky" with the subject complement "blue," which describes the color of the sky.
