What are types of verbal phrase?

There are three types of verbs or verb phrases:

• ACTION verbs that involve a subject. (e.g. ran, ate)
• BEING verbs that describe a subject (e.g. is, will be)
• LINKING verbs complete the subject through an action or being.(these are - appear, taste, smell, feel, look, sound, grow, seem, remain, become)

Verb phrases add auxiliary (helper) verbs, usually to be, to have, or to do, but also - would, could, should, might, can, may, and must.

Note that the verb have is part of the perfect tenses for many verbs, so in this case, as with the verb be, it may not be considered an auxiliary verb.
