Verb Preceders are words that come before a verb in a sentence. They can be nouns, adverbs, adjectives, or other parts of speech. Nouns are the most common type of verb preceder, and they usually describe the action of the verb. For example, 'The CAT RAN quickly' has the noun 'CAT' preceding the verb 'RAN'. Nouns can also be used to indicate the object of the verb, as in 'The BOY threw the ball'. In this case, the noun 'BOY' precedes the verb 'threw', indicating who is performing the action.
