(3) Verb Head-modifier Phrase : A word denoting an action alone can occur as a verb phrase. Here, by word is meant root plus tense suffix, causative or reflexive suffix. Such verb phrases can stand alone as a sentence ie., verb in imperative mood. Apart from this, a verb phrase may take an auxiliary, a negative particle, an adjective, an adverb and a noun. This is the maximum potential of a verb phrase. Thus a VP may have the following types of formation.

    (i)
VR           +
Tense       +
asp
{Present}
{durative }
{past }
{perfective}
{ future }
g+du
gdu
is going
gi+du+ai
gdual
was going
g+la+du+ye
gaduye
will be going
    (ii)
± P1       ±
 NP2          +
 VR              +
 suffix
bļm
kį-d

him
see t

Here "bļm kį-d" is a verb phrase. Similarly a VP may have two NPs.

bļm kitab
k
bi-d
gave him a book
