    Linking verbs are kinds of verbs that do not express actions.
    Instead, they express a state of being or condition. They
    connect the subject to the rest of the words in the sentence.
    Be-verbs are used as linking verbs
    (Examples: am, is, are, was, were).
    The be-verb am is used as a
    linking verb together with the
    pronoun I.
    Examples:
    I am a loyal fan of Mr. Rivera’s kindness to everyone.
    I am happy because my grandmother will visit our house
    tomorrow.
    The be-verb is links to
    singular subjects in
    the present time.
    Examples:
    English is my favorite
    subject.
    She is pretty with her red
    dress.
    The be-verb are is used
    for plural subjects and
    for the pronoun You
    Examples:
    The children are playing in the playground.
    The students are listening to their teacher.

    subject in past time.

    The linking verb were is
    used together with a
    plural subject in the
    past time frame too.
    Examples:
    You were alone at lunch.
    My parents were in Italy
    last summer.
