What Is A Linking Sentence?

Answer 1

a linking verb links the subject of the sentence to predicate nominatives or predicate adjectives only. helping verbs link the subject to direct objects or indirect objects only.

example of linking verbs:

am, is, are, was, were, be, being, been

eg. She was a teacher (predicate nominative)
eg. Macaroni and cheese is delicious (predicate adjective).

helping verbs:

have, has, had, do, does, did, shall, should, will, would, may, might, must, can, could

eg. He had swept the floor (direct object).
eg. She will give me a slice of cake (direct and indirect object).
