The Main verb is also called the lexical verb or the principal verb. This
term refers to the important verb in the sentence, the one that typically
shows the action or state of being of the subject. Main verbs can stand
alone, or they can be used with a helping verb, also called an auxiliary
verb.
A Gerund is a word like “swimming” in the sentence “I have always
enjoyed swimming.” The term refers to the “-ing” form of a verb when
it functions as a noun. A gerund usually refers in a general way to the
activity represented by the verb it's derived from.
Example
 Subject, specific: “Watching movies is one of her favorite hobbies.”
 Direct object: “He spends a lot of time practicing.”
 Indirect object: “She gave running a lot of thought.”
 Subject complement: “The thing he hates more than anything is waking up early.”

 Auxiliary verbs are sometimes called HELPING VERBS. This is because they may be said to
"help" the main verb which comes after them. For example, in The old lady is writing a play, the
auxiliary is helps the main verb writing by specifying that the action it denotes is still in progress.
 Zero conditionals can also be used to make a command or request
or to give advice or instructions. In these instances, the conditional
clause is in the present simple tense and the main clause is in the
imperative mood. Examples: Zero conditionals in the imperative
mood If you get lost, call me.
