නිතරම කර්මය හා කර්මය පිළිබඳව කියැවෙන දේ සම්බන්ධ කිරීමට යොදාගනී

A linking verb does not have much meaning in itself. It "links" the subject to what is said about the subject. Usually, a linking verb shows equality (=) or a change to a different state or place (>).

Linking verbs are always intransitive (but not all intransitive verbs are linking verbs).

• Mary is a teacher. (mary = teacher)
  
• Sithara is beautiful. (Sithara = beautiful)
  
• That sounds interesting. (that = interesting)
  
• The sky became dark. (the sky > dark)
  
• The bread has gone bad. (bread > bad)
