∙ 13y agoNo. All verb phrases include verbs. The verb phrase is the part of the sentence that contains the verb and any auxiliary verbs, as when diagramming sentences.
Example :
"The boy should have finished his homework."
The verb is to finish, the complete (present perfect)verb is have finished, and the verb phrase includes the auxiliary verb should, should have finished.
