One worksheet on action and linking verbs. How to do the worksheet: Step one, find the verb and underline it. Step two, substitute one of these linking verbs is, am, was, or were for the verb you underlined. Step three, judge if the new sentence makes sense, the verb is a linking verb. If the new sentence does NOT make sense, the verb is an action verb.
In other words, any linking verb can substitute for any other linking verb. And, no action verb can be substituted with an linking verb.
