The verb phrase may contain one verb (simple):

Richard came yesterday.

Or more than one verb (complex):

Richard is coming today.

English also has auxiliary verbs which help the main verb to make up a verb phrase. They are:

be, have, do, and the modal auxiliaries will, can, could, may, might, shall, should, must, used to.

The shops will open tomorrow. The shops have opened today. The shops were opening at 9:00am. The shops used to open at 8:00. etc

Is the word group a prepositional phrase?

I'm not sure if your question is whether a prepositional phrase is the same thing as a word group, or if "group" is a prepositional phrase. The answer is no in either case. A word group must express a complete thought. A prepositional phrase is part of a sentence and it has to start with a preposition. "In the group" is a prepositional phrase beginning with the preposition "in."
