Can we omit verbs most of the time. Is that good to go?

Hello I'm The French,

If you make one clause, you need one verb, to show the state or the action of the subject.

Normally, the short phrase you can writte contains one verb (Imperative mood).

You have no alternative,it's grammars rules for clauses,I give you one example:

I live in France (Subject + Verb + Predicate).

Who make the action : subject :I
Verb: State or action of subject: live
Predicate: What are the issue or the focus of the clause: in France

Is it more clear for you?

Have a nice day. Very Happy

The French
