Although it is possible to construct sentences without verbs (e.g., Wow! or Ouch!) the vast majority of English sentences contain at least a subject and a verb.

S+V

John snores.

Dogs bark.

It should be noted that in this case the verb must be an action verb.

Many sentences also contain an object. When that happens the object must follow the verb.

S+V+O

Mary likes Pizza.

John plays football.

The only words that should be inserted between the verb and object are adjectives (e.g., Mary likes hot pizza).

When the action is the most important thing we sometimes used adverbs to describe the action more clearly.

S+V+Adverb

John snores loudly.

Mary sleeps soundly.

When the subject is the most important thing we often use adjectives to describe that subject more clearly.

S+V+Adjective

Mary seems sad.

John is aggressive.

In English many times modal verbs are used to modify the meaning of the verb in question. Modal verbs are words like will, would, can, could, should, etc., that join directly to the verb without the need for the word to.

S+Modal+Verb

John shouldn't smoke.

Mary can dance.
