What is the verb phrase in sentence would probably have come with us if she

The verb phrase in the sentence "would probably have come with us if she" is "would probably have come".

Here's why:

* would is a modal auxiliary verb

* probably is an adverb modifying the verb

* have come is the past participle of the verb "to come"

Together, they form the complete verb phrase that describes the action being considered.

The sentence is incomplete, though. It needs a subject and a dependent clause to complete the meaning. For example:

"She would probably have come with us if she had known about the trip."
