Generally the verb follows, but sometimes it precedes the subject, especially in questions, e.g. "Have you any wool?" and phrases like "So goes the story."

Intensive verbs describe the subject complement but extensive verbs describe what the subject does.
The two large classes of verbs are action verbs (express physical or mental actions) and linking verbs (connect the subject to a subject complement that describes or renames the subject).
Two kinds of verbs are called "action verbs" and "linking verbs." Action verbs express physical or mental action, while linking verbs connect the subject of a sentence to a subject complement.
Linking verbs, also known as copular verbs, do not take a direct object and therefore do not function as transitive verbs. They serve to connect the subject of a sentence to a subject complement or adjective that describes or renames the subject.
The 8 common linking verbs of "be" are am, is, are, was, were, being, been, and be. These linking verbs are used to connect the subject of the sentence to a subject complement, which describes or renames the subject.
In linguistics, unergative verbs have a subject that performs the action, while unaccusative verbs have a subject that undergoes the action.
Yes, a compound sentence does have one subject but two verbs.
Linking verbs are not considered helping verbs, as they serve a different grammatical function. Helping verbs, also known as auxiliary verbs, are used with main verbs to create different verb tenses or to add emphasis. Linking verbs, on the other hand, connect the subject of a sentence to a subject complement.
To form past tense for multiple verbs in a sentence, you should conjugate each verb separately. For regular verbs, add "-ed" to the base form of the verb. For irregular verbs, use the past tense form of each verb. Make sure each verb agrees in tense with the subject of the sentence.
No, "have" and "has" are auxiliary verbs that indicate tense, rather than linking verbs that connect the subject to a subject complement. They are used to form the present perfect tense in English.
Verbs are usually positioned right after a subject in a sentence. In the sentence the dog barked, the subject is dog and the verb is barked.
