✅ परिभाषा (Definition)
जो Verb Subject को उसकी पहचान, अवस्था या गुण से जोड़ दे,
और खुद कोई Action न दिखाए →
उसे Linking Verb (जोड़ने वाली क्रिया) कहते हैं।
👉 मतलब:
Subject + Linking Verb + Complement
(Complement = Subject की जानकारी)
✅ पहचान कैसे करें?
अगर Verb हटाने पर भी:
👉 Subject और उसके गुण का संबंध दिखे → Linking Verb
Example:
He is happy.
(He = happy)
📌 Examples (Simple)
-
She is clever.
-
He became a doctor.
-
The food tastes good.
-
I feel tired.
(Happy, Doctor, Good, Tired = Subject की अवस्था)
