Welcome to Class !!

We are eager to have you join us !!

In today’s English Language class, We will be learning about Verb Phrases – Lexical and Auxilary Verbs. We hope you enjoy the class!

 

 

 

CONTENT

A verb phrase comprises a lexical verb and one or more auxiliary verbs. Lexical verbs are also known as the main verb while auxiliary verbs are often called helping verbs. A lexical verb can stand on its own and it performs the main action. However, some auxiliary verbs can be used as main verbs, performing the main actions in the sentences in which they occur.

Consider the following examples

1. The girl is thinking about her mother
