Hello,
I would like to ask a question about grammar. I am preparing myself for the grammar exam and it is important for me to correctly understand issues regarding to verb groups and verb phrases.
In this sentence: "Mark should buy a new car" should buy is a verb group and "a new car" is an object. Together they create a verb phrase.
My problem is when the sentence is longer, e.g.:
We speak English very well.
I bought a new car last week.
In these sentences I have underlined the verb groups and the verb phrases are colored. Do words like now, later, very well, this week, yesterday etc. are also part of the verb phrase or should it only include the verb group and the object?Thank you in advance for your answers.
