Calipers were set and verified at 5 mm.
Question: what are all the verbs in the sentence?
Ms. Sue
This sentence has two main verbs and a helping verb.

What do you think they are?

Leslie

were helping verb
Leslie
are the main verbs - calipers

- set

helping verb - - were
Ms. Sue
The helping verb is "were."

But calipers is a noun and the subject of this sentence.

One of the main verbs is "set." What else happened to the calipers?

Leslie

Ms. Sue
