Verb groups.

Running into a bit of trouble with the answers to a few of these questions.

1) In the clause 'a certain welfare organization gave a New Year’s breakfast party', what is the whole of the verb group?

2) In the clause 'so you can take it back to Tokyo', what is the whole of the verb group?

3) In the clause 'It's not a decoration', what is the whole of the verb group?

For 1) I believe the whole of the verb group is "gave" and for 2) I believe the whole of the verb group is "take". I can't see any verbs in the third question.

Please help!

OK. Depending on what your teacher is teaching you as the term 'verb group', #2 may include 'take': take...back.
