Answer:
I did not do a work. Here, "do" is used as the main verb.
Explanation:
What is the main verb?
- The main verb or the principal verb or finite verbs infers a fundamental verb in the sentence. The main verb can either be auxiliary or they can stand alone.
- They express a state of being or any link to the subject in support of any information.
•Example: I swept the entire room yesterday. (Main verb- Swept)
Now, let's have a sentence, where there is more than one verb.
•Example: Since she was crying, madam decided to buy her chocolate. (Verbs: Was, crying, decided, buy)
Now which one to choose as the main verb? So, the first thing we will do is, identifying the subject. Here, "she" is the subject. Here, the subject was "crying", so the main verb happens to be "crying".
