To be verbs are things that do not show action. For example, The grandmother is nice.. Is is the to be verb in that sentence. A trick to remember that is Grandmother=nice. If the equals sign makes sense in between the words, then it's a form of a being verb. Sometimes, verbs like is can be used as part of a verb phrase and be an action verb.
All forms of the verb be are always linking verbs. Forms of be: be being been am is are was were. Other verbs can be linking verbs or action verbs: Examples: feel taste smell look grow. To find a linking verb: 1) If the verb is a form of be (be, being, been, am, is, are, was, were), you have a linking verb. 2) For other verbs, if you can replace the verb with a form of be and the sentence makes sense, you have a linking verb.
