What is a compound verb?

A compound verb is a verb made up of two or more words that function as a single verb. These words can be in the form of a main verb and an auxiliary verb (e.g. "is walking"), or two main verbs (e.g. "come and visit"). Compound verbs are commonly used in English to convey complex actions or nuances that may not be easily expressed with a single verb. They can also help add emphasis or clarify meaning in a sentence.
