so the verb can show what action the noun or subject is doing.
Yes, a subject complement follows a linking verb and not an action verb.
state of being mean the same thing as the subject and follow a verb of being
Yes, a predicate nominative can follow a linking verb, where it renames or refers to the subject. However, it does not typically follow an action verb, which instead connects the subject to a direct object.
subject: he verb: depends
A subject follows a linking or action verb. A predicate noun or predicate adjective can follow a linking verb. An indirect object is the noun that can follow an action verb.
The correct phrase is "I need to go." In this case, "need" is a modal verb followed by the base form of the verb "to go." The incorrect version, "I needs to go," does not follow the standard subject-verb agreement rules in English.
I believe the word "follow" is an action verb because in order to follow someone, you need to put your body in motion and it is therefore an action.
In a sentence, a verb would normally follow, as well as anything else in the predicate. As long as there are no other clauses, no subjects should follow the verb. EVER.
Predicate adjectives.
Verb phrases can follow both linking and action verbs. Linking verbs are followed by a subject complement, which can include verb phrases to describe the subject. Action verbs are followed by the direct object, which can also include verb phrases to further explain the action.
A predicate adjective (also called a subject complement) modifies the subject like other descriptive adjectives, it must follow a linking verb in a sentence.Example subject-linking verb-predicate adjective: You are funny.
The auxiliary verb is used before the subject. It will follow this structure:Auxiliary verb have/has + Subject + past participle.For example: Have you finished? (yes/no questions)For questions with a question word the structure is:question word + have/has + subject + past partriciple.Where have you been? What has she done?
