Helping (auxiliary) verbs english- M. van EijkZadkine
油
There are three main types of verbs in English: action verbs, linking verbs, and helping verbs. Action verbs indicate an action done by the subject. Linking verbs connect the subject to additional information about it. Helping verbs assist the main verb and are used to form tenses and questions. The three primary helping verbs in English are "to be", "to have", and "to do". "To be" is used as an auxiliary verb to form progressive and passive verb tenses. "To have" forms the perfect tense. "To do" is used to form questions and negative sentences when no other helping verb is present.
