To identify the linking verbs and action verbs, you need to understand the role these verbs play in a sentence. Linking verbs connect the subject of a sentence to a noun, pronoun, or adjective that describes it, while action verbs express an action performed by the subject.
In the given sentence, "He felt hungry and thought about the lunch wrapped in his handkerchief," we can identify the linking verb and action verb as follows:
1. "Felt" is an action verb. It expresses the action of experiencing hunger.
- To identify the action verb, we can ask "What action is being performed?". In this case, the action is "felt."
2. "Thought" is an action verb. It expresses the action of contemplating or considering something.
- To identify the action verb, we can ask "What action is being performed?". In this case, the action is "thought."
Both "hungry" and "wrapped" are not verbs but rather adjectives that describe the subject. "Hungry" describes the state of feeling hungry, and "wrapped" describes the state of the lunch being wrapped.
In summary, the sentence contains two action verbs, "felt" and "thought," while "hungry" and "wrapped" are adjectives describing the subject.
