When I looked into the mirror saw that they were not fine. Now stuck out from my head like two satellite dishes and was receiving more signals than ever. Which one is a linking verb?

The linking verb in the sentence is "were".

Here's why:

* Linking verbs connect the subject of a sentence to a word or phrase that describes or identifies the subject.

* In this sentence, "they" (the subject) is being linked to the description "not fine."

* "Were" is the verb that establishes this connection.
