In the sentence "these pebbles are like hundreds of small wheels." is like an verb if so action or linking?
Answered by Ms. Sue
No. The verb in this sentence is not "like." It's used as an preposition here.

Please look again to find the linking verb.

Answered by Anya
The verb is 'are'. Is there another verb? No. It would be a linking verb. *Remember that a helping verb helps another verb. And: A linking verb stands by itself.
'Like' in the sentence is not a verb.
