10. In which of the following sentences do you find a verb phrase?
A. The crowed roared as the bull charged.
B. I shall be all that I am and more.
C. June was a collector of memorabilia.
D. I believed every word he said
B. shall be
To find the verb phrase in each sentence, we will need to identify the main verb and any auxiliary (helping) verbs that come before or after it.
A. The sentence "The crowd roared as the bull charged" contains the verb phrase "roared as the bull charged." The main verb is "roared," and the auxiliary verbs (if any) are "as" and "charged."
B. The sentence "I shall be all that I am and more" contains the verb phrase "shall be." The main verb is "shall," and the auxiliary verb is "be."
C. The sentence "June was a collector of memorabilia" does not contain a verb phrase. The main verb is "was," but there are no auxiliary verbs accompanying it to form a verb phrase.
D. The sentence "I believed every word he said" contains the verb phrase "believed every word he said." The main verb is "believed," and there are no auxiliary verbs present.
Therefore, the sentences that contain verb phrases are A and B, while sentences C and D do not contain verb phrases.
