Question

1. linking verbs connect the subject to another part of the sentence; linking verbs do not show action. all of the verbs of being can be used as linking verbs. example: i am taller than you! (notice the word taller describes the subject, i.) underline the linking verb; circle the action verb. i felt confident before the debate because i had read all of the material.

Explanation:

• A linking verb connects the subject to a description (in this case, "confident" describes "I"). "Felt" is a verb of being (related to state of being) and acts as a linking verb here.
• An action verb shows an action. "Read" shows the action of going through the material.

Answer:

• Linking verb: Underline "felt"
• Action verb: Circle "read"
