  • - I feel tired. (“tired” describes me)
  • - He seems annoyed (“annoyed” describes him)
  • - She is a teacher. (“a teacher” describes her)
  • - They are students. (“students” describes them)

I’ll show you a list of linking verbs, and then we’ll look at a lot of examples. If you want to download this lesson to save it and review it later,click here and enter your e-mail address to get the free PDF.
