How many verb can sit in a sentence
Hi guys,
I assume the following sentence is grammatically correct. If so, I would like to know why there are three verbs in one sentence: "makes", "feel", and "know"? Isn't there suppose to be only one verb in a sentence? Please elaborate your answer.
It makes me feel like I don't know any Chinese.
Thank you.

Makes = Principal verb of the sentence. Null subject.
Feel = Principal verb of the simple declarative averbial clause of the sentence's principal verb.
Know = Principal verb of the simple declarative averbial clause nested in the subordinate clause of "feel" and introduced by a subordinating conjunction.

Hi,
Isn't there supposed to be only one verb in a sentence? You need to forget this idea.
For a start, consider straightforward sentences like
Tom arrived and Mary left.
I brushed my teeth, washed my face and combed my hair.
Best wishes, Clive
