No, "began" is not a linking verb in this sentence. In the sentence "Maya
began
to laugh," "began" is functioning as an action verb. It shows the action that Maya initiated, which is laughing. A linking verb acts as a connector between the subject and a complement, such as an adjective or noun, to describe or identify the subject. Examples of linking verbs include "am," "is," "are," "was," "were," "become," "seem," and "feel." In this sentence, there is no complement that describes or identifies Maya, so there is no linking verb.
