Linking Verb vs State Verb [MGMAT SC Guide]

by euro » Thu Sep 23, 2010 11:11 pm
I am reading MGMAT SC Guide and came across these two terms:
1) Linking Verb: These verbs express what the subject is or what condition the subject is in. Eg. appear, become, feel, taste

2) State Verb: A verb that expresses a condition of the subject, rather than an action. Eg.love, means, signifies, knows

How are the two different?
