The linking verb is "are." There is no action verb. There is no action in that sentence!
I thought "was" is considered a verb? (are verbs and actions the same?)
Some verbs show action -- like jump, think, run, believe, drive, chase. Other verbs express state of being -- as the underlined verbs in these sentences.
I am a teacher.
Joe is cool.
My sisters are Brenda and Teresa.
The day was warm and sunny.
Oh ok-- I get it now!
