Pengertian Verb Phrase
Verb phrase berdasarkan traditional grammar adalah
kelompok kata berupa main
verb (kata kerja utama) dan auxiliary verb (kata
kerja bantu).
Main verb adalah verb apapun (termasuk linking verb) yang bukan merupakan auxiliary verb. Adapun auxiliary verb dapat berupa primary auxiliary verb (be,
do, have) atau modal auxiliary verb (can, could, may, might, will, would, shall, should, dll).
Berdasarkan generative grammar verb phrase adalah predicate,
yaitu: main verb beserta seluruh elemen yang
melengkapinya: auxiliary verb, complement (objek
kalimat), dan/atau modifier,
namun tidak termasuk subjek
kalimat.
