"You have never quite forgiven her."
Strip down the phrase by taking out unnecessary words and:
"You have forgiven her."
Subject: You (because you did the action)
Verb: have forgiven
Indirect Object: her (because the action [verb] was done to her)
"Set" can function as both an action verb and a linking verb, depending on how it is used in a sentence. As an action verb, it denotes the action of placing or arranging something. As a linking verb, it connects the subject to a subject complement that identifies or describes it.
"He" is the subject, and "was" is the verb.
Yes, an adjective can be used as a subject complement after a linking verb to describe or rename the subject. For example, in the sentence "She is happy," "happy" is an adjective serving as a subject complement that describes the subject "She."
"They" is a pronoun that is used as a subject in a sentence. It is not a verb.
Yes, a verb or a verb phrase can serve as the subject of a sentence. This is common in sentences where the action itself is the focus or topic of discussion. For example, "Running every day" can be the subject in the sentence "Running every day is good for your health."
after the verb
A verb phrase is the verb and its dependents (objects, complements, and other modifiers), but not the subject or its dependents.The verb phrase in the sentence is "will never understand physics".This is a tricky one because part of the verb (will) is hidden in the contraction "I'll".The subject of the sentence is I.
It is quite common for the subject-verb relationship in a sentence to be confused by an appositive or a prepositional phrase with a plural object that precedes the verb. Just keep in mind that a verb must agree with its subject, not with a noun that intervenes between it and the subject, when that noun is an appositive or the object in a phrase.
The form "I" is always the subject of a verb. It may never be used as the object of a verb or a preposition. The form "me" is always the object of a verb or a preposition. It may never be the subject of a verb, except when the verb is in the infinitive in an object clause.We say Do this for me, and Do this for my sister and me. ( NOT my sister and I!)Likewise we say I went to the store, and My sister and I went to the store. (NOT Me and my sister went to the store!)The one case where "me" may be the subject of a verb is when there is an infinitive verb in an object clause, for example " My sister saw me eat the apple," or "The teacher told me to stay after school."
Yes, 'forgives' is the third person singular present of the verb 'to forgive' (forgives, forgiving, forgiven, forgave).
This is the future passive construction of "will postpone". "Postpone" is an action verb: its complement does not describe the subject. "The committee postponed their decision" - the decision is the object of the verb, not a description of the committee. Linking verbs are never transitive and thus they can never be passive.

Use the verb ignoscere to say forgive, since it takes the dative case, the pronoun for "you" would be tibi (or vobis, if the object is plural).Because in Latin the person forgiven is not the direct object of the verb, a literal translation of "you are forgiven" isn't possible. One way around this is to recast the sentence as "I forgive you", tibi ignosco. Another is to use the Latin impersonal passive, tibi ignoscitur, literally "It is forgiven [to] you".
The verb phrase is 'could have moved' (never is an adverb modifying the verb).One problem with the sentence is that the antecedent (subject: you) and the reflexive pronoun (ourselves) do not agree. The following are corrected antecedent agreement:You could never have moved that tree by yourselves.We could never have moved that tree by ourselves.

No, the word "quite" is an adverb.
