Linking verbs are verbs that do not express actions, but conditions or states, such as all forms of the verb "to be," and the verbs "to become" and "to seem." <u>Their function is to connect the subject of a sentence to a word that identifies or describe the subject.</u> Take a look at the following examples:

William <u>is</u> excited about his promotion.

<em>The linking verb "is" connects the subject "William" to the word or adjective "excited" which describes the subject. </em>

The winter scene <u>was</u> mysterious.

<em>The verb to be "was" links the subject "the winter scene" to a word that describes it: "mysterious."</em>

She <u>seems</u> sad

<em>The verb "seems" links the subject "see" to the adjective "sad."</em>

Write a paragraph describing the main conflict in the story
motikmotik

Sample Response:

The main conflict in the story is between the mother’s desire for obedience and the daughter’s desire for independence. It reveals contrasting cultural perspectives between the characters. The daughter’s independence is a reflection of growing up in the United States. As a result of living in America, she desires the freedom to make her own decisions. The mother, however, has values based on her Chinese heritage. She believes that children must obey their parents at all times. These differences lead to arguments between the mother and daughter over many years.
