What part of speech is the word spent?

Answer 1

No, spent is an action verb, the past tense of the verb 'to spend'.

The easy way to recognize a linking verb is that a linking verb acts as an equals sign, the object of the verb is a different form of the subject:

• Mary is my sister. (Mary=sister)

Or the subject becomes the object:

• My feet got wet. (feet->wet).

Answer 2

'Spend' is a verb. By itself (Spend!) it is the imperative of 'to spend', which is a verb (spend, spends, spending, spent). Examples:

I spend an hour exercising before I go to work.

She spends a lot of money to look natural.

They are spending a lot of time together

We spent too much on our vacation.

For clarification:

A noun is a thing (e.g. Mary, Tuesday, Venice, volleyball). An adjective is a word describing a noun (e.g. quick, hard). A verb is a doing word (e.g. I love, he sings, we hear, they spend). An adverb is a word describing a verb (e.g. smoothly, longingly)
