Question
A verb phrase consists of a main verb and its_______
- Auxiliary verbs
- Main verb
- Both a and b
- Phrasal verbs
Hint:
A verb phrase is a group of words which mandatorily includes a main verb and other words such as auxiliaries, modals, complements, objects etc. The whole phrase must refer to an action or a state of being.
The correct answer is: Both a and b
The correct answer is "auxiliary verbs".
In a verb phrase, associative words add up to the main verb to complete its meaning in a sentence. Those extra words cannot be main verbs, because a verb phrase includes only one main verb; and cannot be a phrasal verb either, because phrasal verbs are combination of verbs and other parts of speeches[ adjective, noun, preposition etc.]. So, the correct answer is "Auxiliary verbs".
