Question

What is the action verb and linking verb in this sentence:
The day was warm and sunny.

Answer 1

The linking verb is "are." There is no action verb. There is no <b>action</b> in that sentence!

Answer 2

I thought "was" is considered a verb? (are verbs and actions the same?)

Answer 3

Some verbs show action -- like <u>jump, think, run, believe, drive, chase</u>. Other verbs express state of being -- as the underlined verbs in these sentences.

The day <u>was</u> warm and sunny.
