Guys,
I had a doubt regarding the modifier construction for linking verbs.
In Manhattan, it has been mentioned that adjectives, not adverbs, must follow linking verbs such as "feel". So if a sentence is mentioned in the following manner:
Amy is feeling good.
The word "good" acts as an adjective and not an adverb.
I had the following questions:
1. Is the sentence mentioned below wrong? Here the word "something" cannot act as an adjective, right?
Amy is feeling something.
2. What about the sentence mentioned below? What does "the heat" indicate? Is it an object of the sentence?
Amy is feeling the heat.
3. Can I get more idea of what linking verbs are?
Thanks,

Your query 1 and 2:
In your examples " the heat" or " something" answers the question "What is Amy is feeling?", not "How is Amy feeling?". Thus both "something" and "heat" are nouns, not adjectives.
Your query 3: Linking verbs are not actions- they connect the subject to the predicate. You may also find the following article useful :
