What It Is: A grammar practice worksheet where students read a variety of sentences and
circle the linking verb in each one. The worksheet includes common linking verbs such as
is, are, was, were, looks, smells, feels, seems, and
became, giving learners repeated exposure through real sentence contexts.
Why Use It: This worksheet strengthens students’ understanding of linking verbs by helping them recognize verbs that connect the subject to a description rather than showing action. It supports sentence comprehension, improves grammar accuracy, and builds a strong foundation for distinguishing between linking and action verbs in later lessons.
How to Use It: • Review what linking verbs are and how they function in a sentence
• Read each sentence carefully and identify the linking verb
• Circle the correct linking verb in each sentence
• Use alongside or after
Underline the Linking Verb for varied practice formats

Grade Suitability: Best suited for upper elementary learners.
• Grade 3 students learning linking verbs
• Grade 4–5 students reinforcing verb identification skills
Target Users: Elementary teachers, ESL instructors, homeschool families, tutors, and students practicing foundational English grammar.
