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." Their function is to connect the subject of a sentence to a word that identifies or describe the subject. Take a look at the following examples:

William is excited about his promotion.

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

The winter scene was mysterious.

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

She seems sad

The verb "seems" links the subject "see" to the adjective "sad."

What change is needed to form a complete sentence?

Elodia [21]

Answer:

b) No changes need to be made.

Explanation:

A complete sentence is a sentence that begins with a capital letter, ends with a mark, namely, a period, a question mark or an exclamation point, contains at least a subject and a verb and expresses a complete idea on its own.

So, "No one but Marella was in the car when the accident occurred" is a complete sentence because it begins with a capital letter, ends with a period, has a subject: "No one but Marella", a verb: "was" and complements, and it expresses a complete thought or idea on its own, meaning that it is not missing any word or phrase. Therefore, no changes need to be made in this sentence.
