OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Well, a verb phrase has to have a verb in it. Which option has a verb?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so maybe it is will race

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which word in the sentence is the auxiliary verb? Has Casey visited the planetarium? A. Casey B. Has C. visited D. planetarium

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my homework is on verbs so yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I apologize

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

it's okay :) here are some common auxiliary verbs be, am, is, are, was, were, been, being do, does, did have, has, had

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is a linking verb

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sleepyjess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

meaning it is b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sleepyjess am I correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jagr2713

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jagr2713

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yes, B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which word in the sentence is the auxiliary verb? He will attend the football game. A. game B. attend C. will D. He

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it will

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Let me find a way to explain auxiliary verbs... basically, auxiliary verbs can have their tense changed. Such as will and would, or may and might, do and did.

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yes, will is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which word in the sentence is the main verb? Did you eat popcorn with Ann during the movie? A. eat B. popcorn C. during D. Did

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this one looks hard but I think it is did or D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is did but you can say it either way

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Look at our list of auxiliary verbs, did is on that list. Main verbs normally have -ing on the end

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it can be during or is it did?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

It is during since the question wants the main verb, not the auxiliary verb

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which word in the sentence is the main verb? The cow was milked by each of the children. A. milked B. cow C. children D. was

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it milked?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which words in the sentence are the main and auxiliary verbs? He might not eat all of his dinner tonight. A. might not eat B. not eat C. might eat D. might not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you tell me how to find the answer and the answer

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

The main verb is the action verb

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so eat is the action verb

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yep, now, we need to look at, can not be changed to something else? can might be changed to something else?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Might can be changed to may

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is might eat

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or might not eat actually

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Now, I'm not quite sure whether it would be A or C...

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

I'm leaning more towards A though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be might not eat since the sentence has not between the words

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is asking for the words not the phrase

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it has to be might eat

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

True

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I will try it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx for the help man

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and at this time at night too bro

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
