[@aryanagarwal7742]

The main take away from this lesson is that linking verbs are verbs that connect the subject to an adjective or noun that describes it and the verb shows how the subject is in a state of being. Example: She seems very happy, and I am glad about that. "Seems" and "am" both show how the subject is feeling or what state he/she is in.

[@abdelkabirbensmain2526]

Aryan Agarwal well done buddy ♥️ However, the adjective or the noun that is linked to the subject with a linking verb functions as a subject complement . It modifiers the subject

[@Jayviolikesspyro]

Well same with “seem”

[@JenricAquino]

They basically "link" stuff.

[@friedpotato3516]

I finally understood it i wasnt ablee to understand tysm

[@debbiemaiers1676]

you got the first part right: She seems very happy. Seems is the linking verb, but the second: and I am glad about that. Am is not a linking verb here, one thing to note: If you can change the linking verb to is in singular form or are in plural form, and it still makes sense, then it is a linking verb. here is an example: She is very happy, and I is glad about that or She seems very happy, and I are glad about that don't make sense. think about that next time.

[@eveninghometuition4605]

I cant seem to get my head around this problem i have. I used to know this years ago, but now it seems to fade away. Take this sentence: He ran to the first grave and began digging feverishly. Which one is the main verb? Began? Digging? Just a recap. There are main verbs and auxiliary (helping) verbs. Put it simply. If I say: I dug a hole. Dug is the verb. If I say, I was digging a hole. Was is the auxiliary verb. Similarly, sentences like We should go there (Should is the auxiliary). They must listen to their leaders (must is the auxiliary). Now back to this: He ran to the first grave and began digging feverishly. Digging is obviously not a gerund. But it must be a verb. But, is digging the main verb or auxiliary? How about began? If these two verbs are combined in one sentence, which one acts as the main verb. Example: He sat singing in the kitchen. They stood wondering about going home. She stood smiling at him. Please help. Cant sleep. ISSUE: Which is the main verb? Which is the auxiliary verb?

could you please explain the difference between Stative verbs and Linking verbs?

[@mathewhorodner2000]

Stative verb definition: A stative verb in English, also known as state verb, is a type of a main verb that shows the state of the subject. It doesn’t indicate any physical (dynamic) action; it simply indicates in what state the subject is. The stative verb can be (1) mental or cognitive (think, believe, doubt, guess, remember, pretend, recognize, recall, guess, forget, agree, disagree, need, prefer, satisfy); (2) emotional (love, hate, adore, abhor, like, dislike, appreciate, envy, detest, loathe); (3) senses (see, hear, feel, seem, taste, smell, sense, sound); (4) possessional (have, belong, possess, own, belong, want); and (5) condition (weigh, contain, involve, concern, lack, deserve, matter, resemble). The following are examples: Ashish *loves* his parents more than anyone in the world. Nobody *likes* to talk to Rohan. He brags too much about his job. I *hated* Mathematics for many years. Do you *believe* in God? He *pretended* to be a cop in front of my friends. I can’t *recall* the date. Every time we *doubted* him, he proved us wrong. How can he *dislike* chocolates? We *appreciate* what Max has done for our family. He *needed* food very badly. You *seem* upset about something. The food *tastes* awful. You *smell* great. He *sounds* quite confident. All of us *have* a gaming laptop. She *wanted* a cook. The syrup *contains* alcohol. Shami *deserves* the credit for this win. Linking verbs vs Stative verbs Linking verbs and stative verbs seem to be similar sometimes, but their functions are quite different. A linking verb links the subject to its complement (subject complement). It is followed by either a noun or an adjective. So, a linking verb works like a bridge that connects two parts: the subject and the subject complement. On the other hand, a stative verb only shows the state the subject is in. Its job is to indicate the state of the subject. It isn’t necessarily followed by the subject complement, but it can. Linking verb examples: You *ar*e smart. Connor *is* a great fighter. I *was* upset with you. Your mother *seems* unhappy. The movie *could be* exciting. I *will be* a father soon. Stative verb examples: I *love* English. She *hates* all of us. I *remember* that day. We *agree* with you. People *need* money to survive. My teacher *wants* us to leave.
