In the sentence "It takes 20 licks to finish the candy.":
- "takes" is a verb (third-person singular present of "take").
- "20 licks" is a noun phrase; "licks" is a plural noun (counting instances of licking).
- For completeness: "to finish" is an infinitive verb phrase, and "the candy" is a noun phrase (object of finish).
If you wanted "licks" as a verb, it would appear like "He licks the candy," where "licks" is the verb.
