Verb
phrases
A verb phrase contains
verbs which can be lexical, auxiliary, or modal. The head is the first verb in
the verb phrase.
Example:
"I didn't notice
Rowen around tonight," remarked Don, as they began to prepare for bed.
"Might have been sulking in his tent," grinned Terry." Here, the
verb phrase "might have been sulking" has the form
"modal-auxiliary-auxiliary-lexical."
The modal comes first,
then the auxiliary or several auxiliaries, and finally the lexical (main)
verb.When a verb phrase has a combination of modal and auxiliaries, it is
constituted usually in the following order: modal verb >> perfect have
>> progressive be >> passive be >> Lexical verb.Whichever
verbs are used in the verb phrase, the first verb is conjugated for tense,
person and number.
