When there is more than one verb in a sentence what it called?

When there are multiple verbs in a sentence, it's called a compound verb.

Here's a breakdown:

* Verb: A word that describes an action or state of being.

* Compound Verb: Two or more verbs working together to express a single action.

Examples:

* She sings and dances. (The verbs "sings" and "dances" are connected by the conjunction "and" to form a compound verb.)

* They will eat and sleep.

* I have been reading and writing all day.

Note: Compound verbs can be connected by conjunctions like "and," "or," "but," "nor," "yet," or "so."
