Linking Verbs vs Action Verbs


Linking/Action Verbs Practice(Sense words)
Definitions
Linking Verb: A linking verb is a verb that links a word in the predicate to the subject.  That word will either be a noun (predicate noun), which will rename the subject or an adjective (predicate adjective), which will describe the subject.
Action Verb: A verb that shows action.  It may or may not have a noun or pronoun following it that receives the action of the verb (direct object).
There are some words (sense words) that will be linking or action verbs depending on how they are used in a sentence.  For example:
Mary seems to like the house.Seems is an action verb, but there is no direct object here.
The house seems large.Seems is a linking verb - large is a predicate adjective that describes the subject, house.

These are the verbs that could be action or linking verbs:
appearlooksound
becomeseemstay
feelremaintaste
growsmell
