Here's why:
* Linking verbs connect the subject to a word or phrase that describes or renames it. They don't show action in the traditional sense.
* Actions are generally physical (running, jumping) or mental (thinking, wondering).
Let's look at some examples:
* "The cake is delicious." This uses the linking verb "is" to connect the subject "cake" to the description "delicious." It doesn't describe an action.
* "The cat is sleeping." This uses the linking verb "is" to connect the subject "cat" to the state of being "sleeping." It describes a state of being, not a physical action.
It's difficult to create a phrase that uses a linking verb to describe an action without involving a physical or mental state. Linking verbs are usually about describing something, not actions.
Perhaps you're looking for a phrase that uses an active verb that describes a less common type of action?
If you can provide more context about what kind of action you're looking for, I can help you come up with a better example.
