Key concepts students will learn:
- •
Action verbs show what someone or something does, while linking verbs connect the subject to more information about it.
- •
Some common linking verbs are am, is, are, was, were, seem, seems, and seemed.

To determine if a verb is linking or action, see if it shows movement or connects information, and whether it can be replaced with other action or linking verbs.
