Intensive verbs, also known as copular or linking verbs, are verbs that link the subject of a sentence to a subject complement, such as a noun, adjective, or prepositional phrase that provides more information about the subject. Common intensive verbs include forms of "be" as well as verbs like look, stay, appear, become, remain, taste, feel, seem, smell, grow, and sound. An example sentence using an intensive verb is "I am a student."
