Is it true that no more than two verbs can be used in the same sentence?

That's not true! You can have multiple verbs in a sentence, and it's quite common. Here's why:

* Different Types of Verbs: Sentences can contain different types of verbs, including:

* Main Verbs: These express the main action of the sentence (e.g., "run," "eat," "sleep").

* Helping Verbs: These work with the main verb to create tenses, moods, and voice (e.g., "is," "are," "was," "will," "have," "can," "should").

* Modal Verbs: These express possibility, ability, permission, or obligation (e.g., "may," "might," "must," "should," "could").

* Example: "He will be running to the store."

* "Running" is the main verb.

* "Will be" are helping verbs.

You can use multiple verbs in a sentence as long as they have a grammatical function and the sentence makes sense.
