auxiliary verb

noun
Grammar
  • A verb used in forming the tenses, moods, and voices of other verbs. The primary auxiliary verbs in English are be, do, and have; the modal auxiliaries are can, could, may, might, must, shall, should, will, and would.

    Example sentencesExamples

    • On Block Two print auxiliary verbs, such as ‘should,’ ‘would,’ ‘might,’ ‘can,’ ‘will,’ and ‘did.’
    • Most of the functions of the old subjunctive have been taken over by auxiliary verbs like may and should, and the subjunctive survives only in very limited situations.
    • Because in French there is no auxiliary verb corresponding to our English ‘did ’.
    • Such words include pronouns, auxiliary verbs, conjunctions, and prepositions.
