A linking verb is basically 'connects' the subject with a word that gives information about the subject. Here are a few examples that will help you learn about what they are:
- Bob is excited for his new promotion at work.
- His knee went red after he fell on the carpet.
Hope this helped and have a splendid day!

Hey there,
A linking verb is a verb that joins the subject of a sentence to the complement.
