Final answer:

Linking verbs connect the subject to a describing word or subject complement without showing action.


Explanation:

Linking verbs are verbs that connect the subject of a sentence to a describing word or a subject complement. Unlike action verbs that show the subject performing an action, linking verbs simply link the subject to additional information about it.

For example:

  1. The flower smells sweet. (smells is a linking verb connecting 'flower' to the adjective 'sweet')
  2. She looked at the painting. (looked is an action verb indicating the subject's action)

Some examples of linking verbs include 'is,' 'seems,' 'became,' 'appear,' 'feel,' and 'look.'
