Hi,
You asked:
| Quote: | | I want to know that what is diffrence between main verb and present verb or main verb and other verb |
The main verb in a sentence could mean the principal verb, which is in the main clause (sentence) or it could mean the verb shown with its person (singular or plural) and tense. I suggest when you say present verb, you mean present tense. Let me give you two sentences:
Coming into the room she fell over the dog. The main verb in that sentence is fell because the word coming is a participle.
Every time she comes into the room she falls over the dog Both verbs are 'main' and both are in the present tense.
