My brother would have worked all summer what is the verb phrase?

The verb phrase is "would have worked".

Here's why:

* would have is an auxiliary verb (helping verb) that indicates a conditional past tense.

* worked is the main verb in the past participle form.

Together, they form a verb phrase that expresses a hypothetical action in the past.
