State of Being Verbs

~State of Being/Linking VerbsA linking verb links the subject of the sentence with information about it. Sometimes linking verbs are called "state-of-being verbs." Jeremy is tired. This apple tastes so sweet.In the first sentence, is links Jeremy to information about him-the fact that he is tired. That is his state of being.In the second sentence, tastes links apple to information about it—its sweetness. Did you think taste was an action verb? Well, it is—when the subject is doing the tasting. But here, the apple isn't doing any tasting. The apple itself tastes sweet. That is its state of being.http://www.powershow.com/view/24c689-NGE5O/State_of_Being_Verbs_powerpoint_ppt_presentationhttp://www.powershow.com/view2b/52fba2-ZTJmO/Verbs_Verbs_Verbs_powerpoint_ppt_presentation http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CB4QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fclassroom.jc-schools.net%2Fla%2Factivities%2Fverbs-being.ppt&ei=tyyVVd4YhKzIBIbOlDg&usg=AFQjCNGNojz_2Ym_9elM1ugkgFdjx6s91w Powered by Create your own unique website with customizable templates.
