Is the word feel an action or linking verb?

The word "feel" can be both an action verb and a linking verb, depending on its context.

Action Verb: When "feel" describes a physical sensation or action, it's an action verb.

* Example: "I feel the warmth of the sun on my skin." (The verb "feel" describes the action of sensing the warmth.)

Linking Verb: When "feel" connects the subject to a description or state of being, it's a linking verb.

* Example: "I feel tired after a long day." (The verb "feel" connects the subject "I" to the state of being "tired.")

Here's how to determine whether "feel" is an action verb or a linking verb:

* Ask yourself what the verb is describing: Is it an action or a state of being?

* Look for a predicate noun or adjective after the verb: If there's a noun or adjective that describes the subject, "feel" is likely a linking verb.
