| HELPING VERB - detailed definition |
|
Definition
| Helping verbs are verbs that are used in a verb phrase (meaning, used with a second verb) to show tense, or form a question or a negative. Helping verbs are used to show the perfect verb tenses, continuous/progressive verb tenses, and passive voice. Helping verbs are always followed by a second verb. The pattern will be: SUBJECT ---> HELPING VERB ---> VERB 2... |
