helping verbs

What do you have after a helping verb when it is used alone, without an action verb? Example: She has a horse. Is "horse" a direct object"? a predicate noun? or some other construct?

In your example, has is not a helping verb; it is the main verb. Horse is its direct object.

  • In your example, has is not a helping verb; it is the main verb.
