Pengertian Verb Phrase
Verb phrase berdasarkan traditional grammar adalah kelompok kata berupa main verb (kata kerja utama) dan auxiliary verb (kata kerja bantu).
Main verb adalah verb apa pun (termasuk linking verb) yang bukan merupakan auxiliary verb, seperti: drive, want, read, taste, smell, is, am, are, was, dan were. Adapun auxiliary verb dapat berupa primary auxiliary verb (be, do, have) atau modal auxiliary verb (can, could, may, might, will, would, shall, should, must, ought to).
Berdasarkan generative grammar verb phrase adalah predicate, yaitu: main verb beserta seluruh elemen yang melengkapinya: auxiliary verb, complement (objek kalimat), dan/atau modifier, namun tidak termasuk subjek kalimat.
Complement dibutuhkan jika kata kerja utama berupa transitive verb, sedangkan modifier merupakan kata, frasa, atau klausa yang berfungsi sebagai adjective (kata sifat) atau adverb (kata keterangan) dan menerangkan kata atau kelompok kata lain. Modifier antara lain: simple adjective, simple adverb, adjective phrase, adverb phrase, adjective clause, adverb clause, participle, infinitive, dan prepositional phrase.
Traditional Grammar
+/- auxiliary verb + main verb
Generative Grammar
+/- auxiliary verb + main verb +/- complement +/- modifier
