Wow, linking verbs are very confusing! I even had some trouble with them this week! Here is a GREAT website that explains when a verb is linking, and when it is action.

Remember, action verbs tell what the subject does.
Linking verbs tell what a subject is or is like (is, were, will be, am, etc.). Linking verbs can always be replaced by a form of is (or they already are a form of is).
