Linking verbs

When you write English sentences you have to link the subject and the object with a verb. The most common linking verb used in a sentence is the verb "to be� (I am, she is, we are). What if I told you not to use the verb "to be�? Can you think of alternate verbs you could use? This lesson teaches you many other linking verbs to help you make your sentences more interesting without actually changing the meaning.
