I would like to know why there are two verbs in the following sentence:
All I watch is the weather.
Why do we use 'is' after 'watch' in this sentence? It seems strange that there are two verbs.
If anyone could explain this sentence structure I would be grateful.
Another example would be:
All you need is love.

There is only one verb, is:
In this case the word watch is used as a noun. It is the same with All you need is love, where love is a noun.
This is called nominalisation, where a noun phrase is generated from another word class, usually a verb. In other words, the process of nominalisation turns verbs (actions or events) into nouns (things, concepts or people).
