How to use feel as a linking and action verb in sentence?

Here's how to use "feel" as both a linking verb and an action verb, with examples:

Linking Verb:

* Definition: Connects the subject of a sentence to a word that describes or identifies it (usually a predicate adjective or noun).

* Example:

* "I feel happy." (Happy describes how the subject feels)

* "The fabric feels soft." (Soft describes the texture of the fabric)

* "She feels like a queen." (A queen describes how the subject feels)

Action Verb:

* Definition: Shows an action performed by the subject.

* Example:

* "I feel the cold wind on my face." (The subject is performing the action of feeling)

* "She feels around in her purse for her keys." (The subject is performing the action of feeling)

* "He felt his way through the dark room." (The subject is performing the action of feeling)

Key Difference:

* Linking verbs: Describe a state of being, feeling, or condition. They are followed by a predicate adjective or noun.

* Action verbs: Show an action or activity. They are usually followed by an object or prepositional phrase.
