"I believed every word he said." Is this sentence a verb phrase

English

No, this sentence is not a verb phrase, because the subject is not part of the verb phrase here.

Here's why. The subject is "I," the verb is "believed," and everything following the verb ("every word he said") forms the object of the verb. By definition, a verb phrase is one verb + its various objects or modifiers. Here, "every word he said" operates as one single object (it's not just one word, it's EVERY word, and it's not just every word, it's every word HE said). But the subject is separate from the verb phrase, so the entire sentence is not a verb phrase (it's a subject + a verb phrase).

Why Teotihuacan called the city of mystery?​
kow [346]

Answer:

Ancient alien theorists have pointed out that some ancient monuments demonstrate a thorough knowledge of astronomy surpassing knowledge of later cultures.

Explanation:

For a long time, it was thought that Teotihuacan was a “pyramid field,” in von Daniken’s words because the houses were buried and invisible. But we know they are there now. The houses, elite and common, which make up Teotihuacan are less well-known than the pyramids, but they are built of the same materials in the same architectural styles. Teotihuacan was one of the largest cities in the ancient world, with over 150,000 inhabitants at its peak. As you walk through the city you notice immediately the difference compared to other ancient cities. Teotihuacan is amazing, it has this advanced but ancient feeling in it. Teotihuacan has a modern city layout, you have a Street of the Dead that goes for miles, along which you have all of the major ceremonial architecture, including some of the largest buildings ever erected in the New World.
