"will visit" is a verb phrase. "usually" is an adverb and not part of the verb.
Visit friends is not a prepositional phrase. Neither word is a preposition. Visit is a verb; friends is a noun.
The verb phrase is the verb (action) of the sentence, along with any helper verbs, forms of to be, to have, or to do.Examples:The boy has written a book. (verb to write, verb phrase has written)Bill will be visiting the farm. (verb to visit, verb phrase will be visiting)He does go to school. (verb to go, verb phrase does go)
"Visit friends" can be considered a prepositional phrase if it is used as a noun in a sentence, such as "I enjoy the visit with friends." In this case, "with friends" functions as a prepositional phrase modifying "visit."
Enjoy is a verb that is usually followed by a gerund phrase rather than an infinitive phrase. For example, "I enjoy swimming" uses a gerund phrase while "I enjoy to swim" is incorrect.
A verb cannot be a preposition. However, an infinitive (such as "to visit") can form an infinitive phrase (such as "to visit the bank"), just as a preposition forms a prepositional phrase (such as "to the bank").

An infinitive. The entire phrase, including the "to", is usually considered as a verb form.
The phrase "is not" is a verb phrase using the verb (is) and the adverb (not).
Were in cages. Usually it is a verb alone, but you include the whole verb phrase
The verb phrase in the sentence is "are the cripple on the corner."
"Is should be" is not a correct verb phrase in English grammar. "Is" is a linking verb and "should be" is a modal verb phrase. A correct verb phrase would be "is eating" or "is sleeping."
The verb "to be" is the main verb in a linking verb phrase, while any other action verb in the phrase indicates an action verb phrase. Linking verbs connect the subject to a subject complement, while action verbs show an action performed by the subject.
