To identify which sentence uses the word "turned" as a linking verb, we need to understand what a linking verb is. A linking verb connects the subject of a sentence with a subject complement, which describes or renames the subject.
Let's analyze the sentences:
1. "The milk turned sour after sitting out on the counter overnight."
In this sentence, "turned" is used as an action verb, describing the transformation of the milk into a sour state. It is not linking the subject "the milk" with a subject complement.
2. "She turned the doorknob but the door was locked."
In this sentence, "turned" is also used as an action verb, describing the physical act of rotating the doorknob. It is not linking the subject "she" with a subject complement.
3. "Have you turned in your writing assignment yet?"
In this sentence, "turned" is acting as a linking verb. It connects the subject "you" with the subject complement "in your writing assignment yet." The verb "turned" links the action of handing in the assignment to the subject "you."
Therefore, the sentence that uses the word "turned" as a linking verb is:
"Have you turned in your writing assignment yet?"
