A linking verb acts as an equals sign. The object of the verb is a form of the subject (Mary is my sister. Mary=sister), or the subject becomes the object (Mary's feet got wet. (feet->wet).
That is not actually a complete sentence. It is a dependent clause because it cannot stand alone. If you were to take off the subordinating conjunction "when," it could stand alone and would a sentence. The simple subject in that dependent clause is field.
Who, or what has been raining; it. I believe that the word "it" is the subject of this sentence.
The sentence Why are your shoes wet is a question, an interrogative.
A linking verb acts as an equals sign:the object of the verb is a different form of the subject (Mary is my sister. Mary=sister)orthe subject becomes the object (Mary's feet got wet. feet->wet).
"Singing" is the gerund because it is being used as a noun. The sentence is not talking about a certain person who is singing in the ran, but the act of singing in the rain. Furthermore, the verb in the sentence is "can", and the subject always comes before the verb, so "singing" is the subject. Verbs, when they are used as subjects, are gerunds.
Wet Hungry
YOU is the subject (understood) PUT is the verb, CLOTHES is the object of the verb put.
In the sentence, there is no linking verb. The easy way to recognize a linking verb is that a linking verb acts as an equals sign, the object is a different form of the subject (Mary is my sister. Mary=sister); or the subject becomes the object (My feet got wet. feet->wet). In the sentence, 'Where are the children?' (the children are where), the place where the children are is not another form of the subject children.

No, the correct form is "That person was I."In the sentence, the verb 'was' is functioning as a linking verb. A linking verb acts as an equals sign, the object is a form of the subject (Mary is my sister. Mary=sister); or the subject becomes the object (Mary's feet got wet. feet->wet).The noun or pronoun that follows a linking verb is called a subject complement (a predicate nominative) which renames the subject.A pronoun that functions as a subject complement is always a subject (nominative) pronoun. The pronoun 'I' is a subject pronoun.
