State of being verbs are the various forms of the verb to be: be being, been, am, are, is was, were. The term "state of being" confuses many students. I prefer to call them non-action verbs. In addition to the verb be, become, seem, taste, feel, appear, grow, sound, look,stay, remain, and get (when get means to become such as in the sentence, "Larry just got sergeant." can be linking or non-action verbs.
Remember that predicate nominatives and predicate adjectives can be found ONLY after non-action verbs.
Good luck. I hope this helps.

Happy is not a verb. Am is one. "I am" is a sentence.
