appear become feel seem smell look grow remain sound turn taste stay these are linking verbs yeah?

You're absolutely right!

Those words are all linking verbs. They connect the subject of a sentence to a word that describes or identifies the subject.

Here's a breakdown:

* Linking verbs show a state of being or a condition. They don't show an action.

* Action verbs describe an action being done by the subject.

Examples:

* Linking verbs:

* The flowers smell beautiful. (The word "beautiful" describes the flowers.)

* She feels happy. (The word "happy" describes her state of being.)

* The cake tastes delicious. (The word "delicious" describes the cake.)

* Action verbs:

* The cat jumped onto the table. (The cat is performing an action.)

* They played in the park. (They are performing an action.)
