After a week of subjects, I think it is time to work with predicates. Many times the predicate is an action verb, like run, walk, skate, swim, etc. Other times, the predicate can be non action or linking. A linking verb is a verb that connects the subject to an object or adjective later in the sentence. They express no action. Many linking verbs are "be" verbs, like is, are, was, were, be, been, etc. Although most of your answers will be just one word, remember that "will" and "would" can act as helpers in future tense sentences. Can you spot the linking verbs in these sentences? This week's activity is worth .2 X 15 =3 total points.1. Her hair is green from all of the chlorine.
