1. What is the Subject ?
The subject of a sentence is the person or thing doing the action or being described. For example (subjects shaded):
· Lee ate the pie
(Lee is the subject of the sentence. Lee is the subject of the main verb ate; i.e., Lee is the doing the action.)
The subject of a sentence is one of the basic parts of a sentence. The other basic part is the predicate. The predicate tells us something about the subject (i.e., it tells us what action the subject is performing, or it describes the subject). Every sentence must have a verb, and every verb must have a subject.
2. What is Verb ?
A verb is a word that expresses an action or a state of being. Because action verbs are strong enough to be used in sentences all by themselves, they are called main verbs.

3. What is Verb Phrase ?
In simple words, a verb of more than one word is called a verb phrase. It is a phrase consisting of a verb, its auxiliaries (helping verbs), its complements, and other modifiers. Auxiliary verbs always come before the main verb.
A verb phrase is a syntactic unit that corresponds to the predicate. There are two types of auxiliary verbs. Inflected auxiliary verbs e.g. be, have, do and Modal auxiliary verbs e.g. will, should, must etc
verb phrase examples with explanation:
1. She has taken the job. (Auxiliary has + main verb taken)
2. Mom is making the room. (auxiliary is + main verb make)
3. He did sing at the party. (auxiliary do + main verb sing)
4. He has been coming late everyday. (auxiliaries has been + main verb take)
