Hello - I am having trouble with verbs and linking verbs...can you tell me if these are correct? I also have to pick out the predicate noun/adjective.
1. In northern Canada, the countryside seems peaceful. (LV= seems, PA = peaceful)
2. The mountain air smells fresh. (LV= smells, PA= fresh)
3. The northern breezes feel crisp. (LV=feel PA=crisp)
4. The water taste clean. (LV=tastes, PA=clean)
5. Wildflowers look lovely on the hillsides. (LV=look, PA=lovely)
6. Mounties on horseback are a common sight. (LV=are, PA=horseback)
7. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police's nickname is the Mounties. (LV= is PA = Mounties)
8. These Mounties look impressive in their brown jackets. (LV=look, PA = impressive)
9. Their uniforms are a symbol of their authority. (LV=are PA=impressive)

Re-think #s 6, 7, 9
#6 LV = are, PA= common
#7 LV = is, PA = nickname
#9 LV = are, PA = symbol
#7 LV = is, PA = nickname
#9 LV = are, PA = symbol
There is no PA in 6 or 7 or 9.

verb = are
predicate noun = sight
Tell me what you think about 7 and 9.
