Let’s go through each sentence one by one. The goal is to replace the “being verb” (like *is*, *are*) with a different linking verb that still makes sense and connects the subject to the description.
Linking verbs we can use:
- tastes, smells, feels, looks, sounds, seems, becomes, appears, remains, grows
We’ll pick the best fit for each sentence based on what makes logical sense.
