Helping verbs “help” the main verb in a sentence by adding detail to the main verb. There are two types of helping verbs. One type creates verb tenses by clarifying when an action happens, and the other type of helping verb establishes the mood of a sentence.
So when should you use each type — and when should you use a linking verb instead?
Helping Verb Type 1: Auxiliary Verbs
Auxiliary verbs help express verb tense in a sentence.
The three most common auxiliary verbs are to be, to have, and to do — and all of their verb forms.
- to be - am, is, are, was, were, be, been, being
- to have - have, has, had, having
- to do - do, does, did
Auxiliary verbs always appear with an action verb in a sentence to create a verb phrase.
Examples of Auxiliary Verbs in Sentences
When auxiliary verbs appear in a sentence, they’re paired with the past or present participle form of an action verb to create different verb tenses, particularly the perfect tenses and the progressive tenses.
You can use forms of be to show progressive tenses:
- I amhaving another
- is must a helping verb
- is could a helping verb
