​Writing: Revise and Edit

​Let's review some grammar rules:

​Writing Activity Book page 65

​A linking verb is a word that connects a subject to another word that describes or gives more information about the subject. Remember, the subject is the person, place, or thing the sentence is about.
For example: Bob is tired.
The word “is” is a linking verb because it links Bob to how he is feeling.
