Here's why:
* Linking verbs connect the subject to a noun or adjective that renames or describes the subject. Common linking verbs include "be" (am, is, are, was, were, been, being), "appear," "seem," "become," "feel," "look," "sound," "smell," "taste," and "grow."
* The sentence "She threw the page near the trash" uses the action verb "threw." This verb describes an action the subject (she) is performing.
Let's see an example with a linking verb:
* "She is happy." In this sentence, "is" is the linking verb connecting the subject "she" to the adjective "happy," which describes her state.
