For example, The bird flies to the nest.
What is the difference between a linking verb and an action verb?
A linking verb does not express action, instead it connects the subject of the verb to the information about the subject. An example of a linking verb is: Chloe is insectophobic. Action verbs show action, something that a person, animal, or object can do like running, jumping, talking, and eating. An example is, Hunter runs home. As you can see their is a big difference!

You could replace "Zoey" with "I" or "she" (depends on the point of view). I went to the store. "I" is a pronoun because "I" replaces a name (a person which is a noun) with "I".
