HELPING VERBS (also called auxiliary verbs):
HELP the main verb to express an action or state of being.
Together the main verb and its helping verb (or helping verbs) are called a VERB PHRASE.
Matt and Sarah
will climb
the mountain tomorrow.
(
Climb
is the main verb.
Will
is the helping verb.)
Sometimes, a verb phrase is interrupted by another part of speech.
Have
you
practiced
the new dance?
(The verb phrase
have practiced
is interrupted by the subject you.)
