OTHER EXCEPTIONS: LINK VERBS
They link the subject with addtional information.
Verbs like look, feel, sound, smell, taste, seem are followed by adjectives because they describe the subject. These verbs are not actions.
Examples from their explanation:
-
You look tired.
-
The soup smells good.
-
That sounds interesting.
The idea behind the rule is essentially that these verbs work like “be.”
Example:
-
The cake tastes good → The cake is good.
| Verb | Example sentence | |
| look | She looks good. | |
| sound | This song sounds great. | |
| smell | The roses smell beautiful. | |
| taste | This sauce tastes awful! | |
| feel | I feel weak today. |
