- A verb phrase is a syntactic unit comprising an auxiliary/helping verb preceding the main verb. It often comprises a head verb, objects, modifiers, and complements as its dependents.
- Helping verbs appear as: is, be, are, was, such as, were, have, had, has, been, being, do, can, could, do, does, will, should, would, shall, might,may, must, and so on.
