Some verbs can be used as action verbs or linking verbs.
Example: Steven felt happy. LINKING
The doctor felt my pulse. ACTION
To see if a verb is a linking verb or an action verb, substitute am, is or are for the verb. If the sentence still makes sense and if the new verb links a word before it to a word after it, then the original verb is a linking verb.
Write the following sentences, circle the verb, identify the verb as LV: linking verb or AV action verb. Rewrite in cursive and ink.
1. My aunt in Iowa grows wheat and corn.
2. Just home from the hospital, my sister looked pale.
3. The ghost supposedly appears every night at twelve.
4. The guests stayed at the cottages near the lake.
5. For some reason he remains angry and depressed.
6. The apple and peach pies look absolutely delicious.
