"A very large bird flew from the branches" is a complete sentence. There are two nouns (bird, branches) and one verb (flew).
There is no verb in this sentence fragment.

A complete sentence must have a subject (noun) and a predicate (verb). For example, "The bird flies in the sky." "The bird" is the subject of the sentence (bird is a noun) and "flies in the sky" is the predicate (flies is the verb). This is a complete sentence. "The mailman" is NOT a complete sentence because there is no predicate (I didn't tell you what the mailman did). Ask yourself "Who?" and "Did what?" and if you're able to answer both questions then you probably have a subject and a predicate, and therefore, a complete sentence.

Carried is the verb in this sentence, but it is not a mental verb. Mental verbs are verbs like care/see/think
"was falling" is the verb phrase.
Build.
Yes, the adverb "high" tells to what height the eagle flies. It is, however, unspecific.
its intransitive because there is no object in the sentence
This sounds harder than it is. Every sentence has at least one verb in it, and you probably speak using verbs all the time without realizing it.Ever seen those commercials saying "verb- it's what you do?" Well, that's all a verb is. It says what the noun is doing. Let's take this sentence as an example:The bird flew over the forest.The noun used here (a person, place, or thing) is the bird. (The forest is also a noun here but that isn't important to this lesson.) So now that we know that the noun is the bird, we need to ask, what is the bird doing? That is the question you need to ask yourself every time you are unsure as to what the verb is. Well, obviously, the bird is flying. Therefore, the verb in this sentence is the word flew. Even though this sentence is in the past tense, it doesn't matter, because the bird did it either way, right?Using all of this, you should be able to think of some sentences with verbs in them within a few minutes.
The verb is the action word in a sentence that describes what the subject is doing.
