定义
A linking verb is a word used to connect the subject of a sentence to further information about its state.
系动词,亦称连系动词(Linking Verb)。作为系动词,它本身有词义,但不能单独用作谓语,后边必须跟表语,构成系表结构,说明主语的状况、性质、特征等情况。
注:系动词不表示具体动作,这是它和实义动词的主要区别。
The most common linking verb is ‘ be ( be/ am/ is/ are/ was/ were/ been)’
e.g. The new medicine is effective.
