I like going to the theater to watch movies.
In that sentence, what are the verbs? I know going and watch, but what about like?

Yes, "like" is a verb in that sentence. "going" is actually not a verb in that sentence, it is a gerund, which is a noun form of the verb "go". Watch is a verb.

"Like" is a verb. It is the main form of a verb in this sentence.
"Going" is a gerund, which I guess is a form of a verb, just like a participle (e.g. "I have RUN the race.") would be a form of a verb. "To watch" is an infinitive, another form of a verb. Verbs are presented in the infinitive form when someone is studying another language.

"Like" is a verb, and it is used in the sentence in the Present Tense.
Verbs used "-ing" are gerunds, and do not function in the sentence as verbs.
Instead of saying "I like going..." you could say "I like dogs". In that sentence you can see more clearly which is the verb, as the structure is the same.

I believe like is the linking verb not the actual verb.

A verb is a "doing" word so the word like cannot be a verb unless it is being used incorrectly.
