IS that correct? Why can we use 2 verb (underline) in a sentence? Is there any rules?

(a) The boy who threw the ball into the jar wanted to get it back.

I'm not an expert, but I don't think there's anything wrong with your sentence..

Hi Vincent,

The boy, who threw the ball into the jar, wanted to get it back.

Can you see the two subject-verb pairs now?
