Complete Verb

Figure out the "complete verb" in the below sentence:
John is not speaking to Mary.

Is

Is not speaking

Is speaking
You might be thinking it is "Is not speaking" but the correct answer is "Is speaking".
Sometimes words like not, just, never, only, and always appear inside the verb phrase. These words are adverbs, not verbs
