Question

Which of the following sentences has a linking verb?
A.
They peeled four pounds of potatoes.
B.
The girls won the soccer game.
C.
The chef’s cookies tasted good.

Answer 1

Linking verbs are a sort of bridge between a topic or elaboration about the topic. "The" is not a verb and it is the linking word between the two nouns, therefor option B is incorrect. In option A, the linking phrase would be "4 pounds", this is also not a verb therefor by prosses of elimination the answer would be option C. To check this you would look for a verb linking the sentence together. The verb in that sentence is "tasted". "Tasted" is a linking verb because it explains more about the subject/topic which is the chefs cookies.
I hoped this helped have a great day.
