How many verbs are in this sentence?
I once saw a man in Arkansas, who had a saw which could out saw any saw that it saw saw; the man said, "Have you saw a saw that could out saw the saw you saw in Arkansas? If you have saw a saw that could out saw the saw you saw in Arkansas, show me the saw saw."; when he said that I saw a saw, I said, "Yes I did saw a saw in Arkansas, and what a saw I saw, that saw saw!!"

being a good operator simply increases the chances that the owner of your lease block will call it a good farm and sell it for way more than it's worth.

7? It's early.
I never trust anyone who says that they are too old to read a children's book.

There is only one "verbs" in the sentence: "How many verbs are in this sentence?"
