I feel excited. I feel good. I feel discouraged. 這些句子的 grammar 没有錯.
We usually use adverb, not adjective, right after the verb. But with certain verbs, adjectives can be used. This type of verbs are called linking verbs.
Linking verbs help to make a statement, not by expressing an action but serving as a link between tow words. You should become thoroughly familiar with the linking verbs in the following list.
be (am, is, are, was, were), appear, look, smell, feel, get (=become), seem, look, taste, sound, stay (= remain), grow, turn
This happens when we are really describing the subject of the sentence, not the “action” of the verb.
She is beautiful. She seems nice. She sounds nice. She smells nice. She feels nice.
But be careful. Some of these verbs have two meanings. Compare:
The problem appeared impossible. (impossible is an adjective.)
She appeared suddenly. (suddenly is an adverb.)
In the first sentence, appeared means “seemed”, and it is used with an adjective. But in the second sentence, appeared means “came into sight” (an action), so it is used with an adverb.
Look, taste, feel and smell can also be used to refer to actions, and they are then used with adverbs.
My Dad looks angry. (=”seems angry”)
My Dad is looking angrily at me. (looking = “directing his eyes” – an action)
My skin feels rough.
My older brother felt my skin roughly.
Hope this can help.
