sweep
Often unexpected candidates serve as linking verbs: “The rule sweeps too broad.” (The writer intends not to describe a manner of sweeping, but to say that the rule is broad.) --Backinstadiums (talk) 19:57, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Play
Play + adjective, among others, is not a linking verb for the OED, unlike, for example, prove --Backinstadiums (talk) 20:15, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
