You, yes you😡

You're awesome and welcome to my website Hinglish.darkrown.com 🤗😇

Ok, today's post is about Linking Verb Examples so you'll find a basic Linking Verbs Definition, List of Linking Verbs and lots of examples.

LINKING VERBS DEFINITION

A linking verb is a verb that connects or links the subject to a complement.
It means the linking verb tells us what the subject is, and who the subject is.
For example:
I am a student.

In this example, you can see the subject which is I and the complement which is student are connected or linked.

It means the subject is the complement and the complement is the subject.
I mean I is a student and the student is I.
In short, I and the student are the same person.

But if I say I met a student.

So you can't say meet is a linking verb.

Because In this sentence you can see the subject which is I and the object which is the student are not connected or linked.

It means the subject is not the object and the object is not the subject.
I mean I is not a student and the student is not I.
In short I and the student are not the same person.
