Teacher: Children now let’s revise Auxiliary verbs.Verbs that help to form tenses, mood and voice are called Auxiliary verbs. (Helping verbs) e.g be, can, may, will etc. The three most common auxiliary verbs, which can stand alone in a sentence, are forms of ‘be’ ‘do’ and ‘have’. They are called Primary Auxiliaries e.g 1) She is a student of class 8 2) He does his work well 3) I have a cold. Forms of ‘Be’ – are, is, are, was, were, will / shall be Forms of ‘Do’ – do, do, did, and done.Forms of ‘Have’ - have, has, and had.
