"Locating Verbs" Activity # 1 (One)

Here are three rules for finding the verb in a sentence:
1) "To" + a verb is never a verb.
(It might be a subject or direct object--but never a verb!)
2) A verb + "-ing" is never a verb unless it has helping verb.
(It might be a subject or direct object--but never a verb!)
3) No verb (or subject) appears in a prepositional phrase.
