HELPING VERBS Helping verbs help an action or linking verb. Helping verbs help to tell when a verb happened. Helping verbs also express fine differences in meaning that would otherwise be difficult to express.

HELPING VERBS RULE: If there is more than one verb in a verb phrase, there is at least one helping verb present. RULE: The last verb in the verb phrase is always the main verb. Any preceding verbs are helping verbs.

HELPING VERBS The following verbs can be helping verbs: isbeingshallhas ambeenshouldhad arewillmaydo waswouldmightdoes werecanmustdid becouldhaveought

HELPING VERBS EXAMPLES We have been taking notes all day. Have and been are helping verbs. Taking is an action verb. What are you thinking? Are is a helping verb. Thinking is an action verb. She will be cold without a jacket. Will is a helping verb. Be is a linking verb. I can understand how verbs can be confusing. Can is a helping verb. Understand is an action verb. Be is a linking verb.

HELPING VERBS EXAMPLES I should walk home. Should indicates that the speaker feels compelled to walk home, but does not necessarily wish to do so. I will walk home. Will indicates that the speaker is planning to walk home in the future. I might walk home. Might indicates that the speaker is unsure about whether or not he will walk home. I must walk home.

LINKING VERBS EXAMPLES Austin seems boredAustin = bored (adjective) Sara was excited.Sara = excited (adjective) Reading is my favorite class.Reading = class (noun) Most of the time, you can think of a linking verb as if it were an equals sign in the middle of a sentence, usually connecting a noun to an adjective.

LINKING VERBS Verbs relating to the five senses can sometimes be linking verbs. Look at the way the word is being used in the sentence to determine whether the word is functioning as a linking verb or an action verb.
