Challenge: Is there a linking verb in this sentence? Why or why not? 

Ms.Leyva speaks Spanish  

No, there is no linking verb. "Speaks" is an action verb. This is because speaking is something physical we can do or see. If you use the equal sign test and change the verb "speaks" to "say," Ms. Leyva = Spanish. That changes the meaning of the sentence since she is peforming the actions of speaking.
