action verb names an action.

Linking verb – connects a sentence’s subject with a noun or an adjective in
the predicate.
Common linking verbs: appear, become, feel, grow, look, seem, taste, am,

Direct object – receives the action from the verb. It answers the question
what? or whom? after an action verb.
Not every sentence has a direct object.

the direct object. An indirect object answers the question to whom? or for
whom?
