The head of a basic sentence is a verb phrase, and the head of a verb phrase is, as you might expect, a verb. So it follows that the head word in any sentence is a verb. In these examples, the heads of the sentences are the underlined verb phrases, and the head words, the verbs, are in bold:
He is very handsome.
Ed saw something in the corner of t
He is very handsome.
Ed saw something in the corner of t
