They are unaware of the positive and negative effects of watching TV. 6. Violence is already part of the culture. Teacher discusses the highlighted words in each sentence. The word gain, learn, watch and face expressed actions, thus these words are called verbs. Moreover, are and is are used as linking verbs. Basically, linking verbs are forms of the verb be-- am, are, is, was, and were. An action verb is a verb that describes an action, like run, jump, kick, eat, break, cry, smile, or think while a linking verb is a verb that links (connects) the subject of the sentence to information about that subject. Linking verbs do not describe action. D. Application Encircle the verb in each sentence. Write AC if it is an action verb or LV if it is a linking verb. _______1.
