Linking verbs do not express action. Instead, they connect the subject of the verb to additional information about the subject. For example, just to help you: During the afternoon, my cats are content to nap on the couch. The word "are" is describing the cats.

linking verbs help make a statement by
connecting the subject with a word in the predicate that describes or explains it.
(some are am, is, are, was, were, being, been, be, look, seem, appear, sound, smell, taste, feel, become, grow, remain, stay)
