Read each section carefully and follow the directions. A linking verb connects the subject of a sentence to a noun or adjective that renames or describes the subject. Common linking verbs include forms of 'to be' (am, is, are, was, were) and verbs like seem, look, feel, taste, smell, sound, become, and grow.

Underline the linking verb in each sentence.

3. The cookies   delicious.
