What is added to a main verb make it phrase?

To make a verb phrase, you need to add one or more auxiliary verbs to the main verb.

Here's how it works:

* Main Verb: The core action of the sentence (e.g., "run," "eat," "write").

* Auxiliary Verb: A helping verb that modifies the main verb's tense, mood, or voice.

Common Auxiliary Verbs:

* Be: am, is, are, was, were, being, been

* Have: has, have, had, having

* Do: do, does, did

* Will: will, would

* Shall: shall, should

* Can: can, could

* May: may, might

* Must: must

Examples:

* Main verb: "run"

* Verb Phrase: "is running" (main verb: run, auxiliary verb: is)

* Verb Phrase: "had run" (main verb: run, auxiliary verb: had)

* Verb Phrase: "will be running" (main verb: run, auxiliary verbs: will, be)

Note: Some verb phrases can have multiple auxiliary verbs!
