How can you put taste in a sentence as linking verb?

You can't use "taste" as a linking verb in a traditional sense. Linking verbs connect a subject to a predicate noun or predicate adjective, like "be," "seem," "appear," or "become."

However, "taste" can be used as a sensory verb that describes a sensation. Here are some examples:

* "The apple tastes sweet." In this sentence, "tastes" describes the apple's flavor, not a direct comparison.

* "The soup tastes like chicken broth." This sentence compares the soup's taste to a known flavor.

While "taste" can't be a linking verb in the traditional sense, it still functions to connect the subject (apple, soup) to a description of its sensory experience.
