Which of the following is NOT a type of verbal phrase?

gerund

subordinate

Subordinate

Explanation:

A verbal phrase is a phrase containing modifiers or objects of a verb form, plus that verb form that does not act as a verb in the sentence but as another part of speech like an adjective, noun, or adverb. There are three types: Infinitive phrases, which can act as nouns, adverbs or adjectives, gerund phrases, which work as nouns, and participle phrases, which act as adjectives.

Subordinates, better known as subordinate clauses, do not enter into that category. Instead, they are groups of related words containing a subject and a verb whose function is to modify or complement a main or independent clause.
