A subject-verb pattern is the pattern with which sentences are generally formulated. In English, we commonly use an SVO pattern. (subject-verb-object) "The dog catches the ball." Some languages use an SOV pattern. "The dog the balls catches."*

∙ 11y agoThe subject is the part of the sentence doing something or experiencing the verb of the sentence.
John bought a soda. -- subject in bold
John feels happy. -- subject in bold
When looking for the subject of a sentence, your best betis usually to find the phrase just before the verb. -- subject in bold
The entire subject of the sentence can be a single word like 'John' or a string of words, like 'your best bet', which is made up of 2 adjectives (your and best) and a noun (bet).
Linking verbs are verbs that do not show the subject doing an action. Bought (or 'to buy') is an action verb. John is doing something.
Feels (or 'to feel') in the example is a linking verb. It connects John to something about him -- that he is happy. Likewise, 'is' in the third example is a linking verb.
Google linking verbs and you'll be able to find more examples. :)
