Content

Auxiliary verbs are special kinds of verbs that help to give more information about the main verb in a sentence. They are also known as helping verbs.

Here are some examples of how auxiliary verbs are used:

  1. To show tense: Auxiliary verbs can help to show when an action happened. For example:
  • I am playing soccer. (“am” is the auxiliary verb that shows present tense)
  • She was singing in the choir. (“was” is the auxiliary verb that shows past tense)
  1. To make questions: Auxiliary verbs are often used to make questions. For example:
  • Are you coming to the party? (“are” is the auxiliary verb used to make the question)
  • Has she finished her homework? (“has” is the auxiliary verb used to make the question)
  1. To form negatives: Auxiliary verbs can be used to make negative statements. For example:
  • I cannot swim. (“can” is the auxiliary verb used to make the negative statement)
  • They didn’t finish their dinner. (“did” is the auxiliary verb used to make the negative statement)
  1. To add emphasis: Auxiliary verbs can be used to add emphasis to a sentence. For example:
  • She did study for the test. (“did” is the auxiliary verb used to emphasize that she actually studied)
  • He does like to eat pizza. (“does” is the auxiliary verb used to emphasize that he really likes pizza)
