Lesson 2: Auxiliary Verbs or Anomalous Finites

Am, is, are, was, were, do, does, did, have, has had, shall, should, will, would, can, could, may, might, must, etc., are called auxiliary verbs.  It is very much important to know the uses of auxiliary verbs in order to form sentences correctly.

Also, with the help of auxiliary verb, we can make interrogative sentences by shifting the auxiliary verb to the beginning of the sentence.

We can form a negative sentence by adding ‘not’ after an auxiliary verb.

EXAMPLES:

He is walking	Is he walking?
She can drive	Can she drive?
Mary likes to sing	Does Mary like to sing?
They went for a picnic yesterday	Did they go for a picnic yesterday?
I should go there	Should I go there?

We can form a negative sentence by adding ‘not’ after an auxiliary verb.

EXAMPLES:

John can play football	John cannot play football
I can do this work	I cannot do this work
Mary likes to eat chocolates	Mary does not like to eat chocolates
It is good to be funny	It is not always good to be funny
His manners are good	His manners are not good
