Question

The reporter might have been right about the approaching storm. what is the sentenceÂ’s complete linking verb?

Answer 1

It is might have been, because it is linking the subject, the reporter, with being correct about the approaching storm.

Answer 2

Answer:

'might have been'

Explanation:

A linking verb connects the subject, in this case the reporter, with a word (or words) offering more information about the subject. It qualifies the subject's condition or state.

The trick is to ignore the rest of the sentence, so read it as 'The reporter might have been right.' The reporter is the subject and 'right' is the condition/state. And therefore the complete linking verb is - 'might have been'.
