Go-JEK is a technology company with a social mission to improve the welfare and livelihoods of informal workers in various sectors in Indonesia. Go-JEK champions three essential values: speed, innovation, and social impact.
Go-JEK drivers say that since joining us u.s. partners, they have seen their income increase and reached more customers through our app. They also have access to health and accident cover, financial services and insurance, as well as affordable automatic payments and many other benefits.
Go-JEK now operates in 50 cities across Indonesia, including Bali, Balikpapan, Banda Aceh, Bandar Lampung, Bandung, Banjarmasin, Batam, Banyuwangi, Belitung, Bukittinggi, Cilacap, Cirebon, Garut, Gresik, Jakarta, Jambi, Jember, Madiun, Kediri, Karachi, Magelang, Madura, Malang, Manado, Makassar, Mataram, Medan, Padang, Palembang, South Sumatra, Mojokerto, Pasuruan, Pekalongan, Pekanbaru, Pontianak, Siantar Dykes, Probolinggo, Purwakarta, Purwokerto, Salatiga, Samarinda, Semarang, Serang, Sidoarjo, Solo, Sukabumi, Tasikmalaya, Sumedang, Surabaya, Tegal, and Yogyakarta, with more cities to follow in the coming years.

2.     Theory
In linguistics, a verb phrase (VP) is a syntactic unit composed of at least one verb and its dependents—objects, complements and other modifiers—but not always including the subject. Thus in the sentence A fat man put the money quickly in the box, the words put the money quickly in the box are a verb phrase; it consists of the verb put and its dependents, but not the subject a fat man. A verb phrase is similar to what is considered a predicate in more traditional grammars.
Verb phrases generally are divided among two types: finite, of which the head of the phrase is a finite verb; and nonfinite, where the head is a nonfinite verb, such as an infinitive, participle or gerund. Phrase structure grammars acknowledge both types, but dependency grammars treat the subject as just another verbal dependent, and they do not recognize the finite verbal phrase constituent. Understanding verb phrase analysis depends upon knowing which theory obtains in context.
a.      Simple Verb Phrases
A simple verb phrase consists of a main verb. The verb in a simple verb phrase shows the type of clause (e.g. declarative, imperative):
Your camera takes fantastic pictures. (present simple, declarative clause)
Dress smartly. Arrive on time. (imperative clauses).

b.      Complex Verb Phrases
A complex verb phrase may include one modal verb and one or more auxiliary verbs before the main verb. A modal verb always comes before any auxiliary verbs:
(mo = modal verb; aux = auxiliary verb; mv = main verb)
                              [MO]   [MV]
House prices could fall during the next six months. (modal verb + main verb)
         [MO] [AUX] [MV]
You may have played this game before. (modal verb + one auxiliary verb)
                      [MO]  [AUX] [AUX]  [MV]
The work should have been finished by 30 January. (modal verb + two auxiliary verb)

·         Meaning of Auxiliary Verbs in Verb Phrases
Auxiliary verbs give different types of meanings to a verb phrase.


·         Order of Verbs in Verb Phrases
The continuous, perfect and passive meanings of auxiliary verbs may be combined in a verb phrase, and auxiliary verbs may combine with modal verbs.
The order of the different types (and meanings) of verbs in the verb phrase is shown in the table as 1–5, from left to right.
1

3

5

perfect have

A combination of all the auxiliary meanings plus a modal verb is possible but is very rare:

She may have been being interviewed for a job. Perhaps that’s why she was there. (modal may + perfect have + passive been + continuous being + main verb interviewed).

·         The First Verb
The first verb in a complex verb phrase indicates the time somebody did something and matches the person and number of the subject, except when it is a modal verb.

He has lost his keys.
present

4.     Conclusion
Based on the above background, technological advances in the applications of Go-Jek already perceived society, both from the pemitraan or consumer. In doing the analysis breaks the sentence, I still have that shortcomings and possible mistakes in conducting the analysis. I use verb phrases in doing analysis, and sentences that I find many are not in accordance with the rules of preparation of verb phrases.
