Read the sentence. We will probably be going to Saturday’s hockey game. What is the main verb in the underlined verb phrase? will be going going will be going

jhonyy9:

any idea ? what mean ,,main verb" ?

Mercury:

old question but will answer so this can be closed the main verb is the *single* verb that represents the primary action. other verbs in the verb phrase modify the main verb, and are sometimes called auxillary verbs. so, since the main verb is only supposed to be one verb, this narrows us down to "will" and "going". between these two, which one is the *main*, most important action in the sentence?
