  • Learn 20 LINKING verbs in English

    17/04/2024 Duração: 08min

    ⭐ Download FREE PDF: https://espressoenglish.lpages.co/free-pdf-linking-verbs/ ⭐ $1 grammar e-books: https://www.espressoenglish.net/english-grammar-e-books-audio-mp3/ ⭐ Advanced Grammar Course: https://www.espressoenglish.net/advanced-english-grammar-course/  Linking verbs do not describe an action – instead, they connect the subject of the sentence to a word describing it or providing additional information about it. For example: - I feel tired. (“tired” describes me) - He seems annoyed (“annoyed” describes him) - She is a teacher. (“a teacher” describes her) - They are students. (“students” describes them)  I’ll show you a list of linking verbs, and then we’ll look at a lot of examples.
