  1. 1. I am happy for my brother.
    The linking verb is "am." It links the subject "I" with the adjective "happy."

    What do you think the verb or linking verb is in the other two sentences?

  3. I think are is a linking verb, and grows is the verb.

  5. Right. Both are verbs, and "are" is a linking verb and "grows" is an action verb.
