adjective
Verb phrases are verbs that may function as a predicate, adjective, or adverb.
(a) "That he said" is an adjective modifying "word". However, this contains the s ubject"he" and the verb "said". It is a clause and NOT a phrase. Phrases can only have either a verb or a noun.
(b) There's only one verb "was" but it does not come with a complement, object, modifier, or other verb. Hence, it's NOT a verb phrase.
(c) "Shall be" consists of the modal shall and the be-verb be. This is a perfect example of a verb phrase that functions as a VERB PHRASE.
(d) "Roared" and "charged" are two verbs referring to different subjects. They do not come with a complement, object, modifier, or another verb. Hence, they're NOT a verb phrase. "As the bull charged" is a clause and not a phrase.
