Verbs (at least, finite verbs) are what links the subject to the object, or elaborates on the subject:
'John enjoyed his dinner last night.' (John = subject; enjoyed = finite verb; his dinner = object; last night = adverb.)
'John sang loudly.' (John = subject; sang = finite verb; loudly = adverb.)
Non-finite verbs may appear in the subject, or elsewhere in a sentence.
'Eating cheese for supper gives me nightmares.' (Eating cheese for supper = subject; gives = finite verb; me = indirect object; nightmares = direct object.)
