Here's how to determine which:
Action Verb:
* Meaning: The subject is performing an action, like feeling something physically or emotionally.
* Example: "She felt the cold wind on her face." (She is performing the action of feeling the wind)
Linking Verb:
* Meaning: It connects the subject to a noun, pronoun, or adjective that describes or renames the subject.
* Example: "She felt happy." (The verb "felt" connects "she" to the adjective "happy", describing her emotional state)
How to Tell:
1. Ask "What did the subject do?" If the answer involves an action, it's an action verb.
2. Ask "What is the subject?" If the answer describes a state of being or a quality, it's a linking verb.
Let me know if you have a specific sentence in mind, and I can help you determine whether "felt" is an action verb or a linking verb in that sentence!
