How do verbs show a state of being?
Verbs Showing Being
Think of linking verbs like “equals signs.” They don’t show actions like “jump” or “run.” Instead, they link the subject to a description or state.
For example:
“She is happy.” (The linking verb “is” connects “she” to the state of being “happy.”)
“The flowers smell sweet.” (Here, “smell” links “flowers” to the description “sweet.”)
So, when you see a verb that doesn’t show action but connects the subject to a description, it’s likely a linking verb showing a state of being.
