It is a predicate (verb) that contains two or more verbs. For example, "He is eating a sandwich." Is eating is a compound verb phrase. "He has been taking piano lessons." Has been taking. "I was given a beautiful scarf for my birthday." Was given. "I am hungry" Am is a simple predicate because there is only one verb in the predicate. \nAnd so on.

"Are" is a conjugation of the verb "to be", which is used, among other things, to describe qualities or states of being.  You would say "Are you hungry?" because "hungry" is an adjective. \n\n"Do" is an auxiliary verb that is used in questions along with another verb: for example, "Do you sing?" is a good question.  It is equivalent to "Is it true that you sing?" \n\nMore examples:\n\nAre you okay? ("okay" is an adjective)\nYes, I am okay.\n\nDo you smoke? ("smoke" is a verb here)\nYes, I smoke.\n\nAre you running?\nNo, I am not running.\n("running" is a participle, which is an adjective formed from a verb)\n\nDo you run? ("run" is a verb here)\nNo, I do not run.\n("do not" + verb infinitive is how to answer "no".)\n\nDoes he love cake?\nYes, he loves cake.\n(you conjugate "to do" and you leave the verb like "love" in the infinitive.)\n\nDoes she hate you?\nNo, she does not hate me.\n\nAre you thirsty? ("thirsty" is an adjective)\nNo, I am not thirsty.\n\nAre they tired? ("tired" is an adjective)\nYes, they are tired.\n\nIs she pretty?

Infinitives are NOT verbs. They are to plus the verb used as another part of speech.\n\nExample. To ask shows you need to know. (To ask is an infinitive used as a noun and is the subject of the verb is.)\n\nExample: I love to get presents. (To get is an infiniive   used as a noun and is the direct object of the verb get.)\n\nExample: She is the candidate to vote for. (To vote is an infinitive used as an adjective modifying person.\n\nExample: She is a person to imitate. (To imitate is an infinitve used as an adjective modifying person.\n\nExample: The train was ready to depart. (To depart is an infinitive used as an adverb adverb modifying the adverb ready.)\n\nNOTE: The infinitive is "to plus the verb." DO NOT confuse it with the word to plus a noun or pronoun which is a prepositional phrase. Example: He walked to the store.\n\nGerunds are the ing ending of verbs used as nouns.\n\nExamples:\nWalking is fun. (noun as the subject of is)\nI like walking. (noun as the direct object of like)\nI think I will give walking a try. (noun as the indirect object of the verb think)\n\nMy favorite exercise is walking. (noun used as a predicte nominative following a non-action verb and renamimg the subject walking.)\n\nI never thought of walking. (noun, object of the prepositon of)\n\nRemember, the part of speech of a word is determined by its FUNCTION in the sentence.\n\nClauses are the same. IF the clause modifies a noun or pronoun, it is an adjective clause. Example. That is the prize which I want. (which I want is an adjective clause that modifies prize).\n\nThat I love chocolate ice cream is a well-known fact. (That I love ice cream is a subordinate clause that is a noun used as the subject of the verb is.\n\nWhen I get to school, I plan to study for the test. (When I get to school is an adverb clause modifying the verb plan.)\n\nI wish I had an hour or two with you. I could teach you all the grammar you would ever need to know. This limited space makes it difficult to do the job. I hope what I have done helps you!!

A modal verb (also modal, modal auxiliary verb, modal auxiliary) is a type of auxiliary verb that is used to indicate modality.\n\nModal verbs (also known as helping verbs or auxiliary verbs) give additional information about the mood of the main verb that follows it. In other words, they help to incorporate or add the level of necessity: (must/need to/have to = obligation, requirement, no choice); (should/ought to = suggested obligation); (can/could = it is possible); and (may/might = option, choice).\n\nMost modal verbs have two distinct interpretations, epistemic (expressing how certain the factual status of the embedded proposition) and deontic (involving notions of permission and obligation).

I eat what: a cake (here, it's a transitive direct verb because the complement is a direct complement)\nI speak to you. (transitive indirect)\nAn intransitive verb is a verb that doesn't accept direct or indirect complements.\nI stay. (you can't say "what do I stay?")\nBe careful! the complements of location (where?), time (when?), manner (how?)... have nothing to do with the fact that a verb is transitive or not.

Chair and desk are the direct objects of the verb kicked.\n\nMost compounds are joined by and, or, for, nor or but. However, they may also be joined by either/or, neither/nor, both/and, not only/but also.\n\nI hope this helps you.
