What is a helping verb

hi amanda.
What is the difference between auxiliary and linking verbs? Remember that every sentence must have both a subject and a verb to be complete. Alinking verb is quite different from an action verb in that it doesn't actually express action. ... An auxiliary verb, also referred to as a helping verb, is one that is the part of a verb phrase that helps the main verb.

"Margarite draw" is not correct because the subject, "Margarite" is singular and the verb "draw" is plural, so they do not agree. " Margarite and John draw" is correct because the subject ,"Margarite and John" is plural and agrees with the plural verb "draw". "Margarite draws" is also correct because the singular verb "draws" agrees with the singular subject, "Margarite." The other two examples are correct: plural subject and verb in "girls sing", and plural subject and verb in "we play"

A regular verb can have -ed added to the end like WALK becomes WALKED.
An IRREGULAR verb can't. Words like DRINK become DRANK or WRITE becomes WROTE. There's a bit more to this, but this is the simplest way I can answer.

Action verbs are verbs that tell you to do something--go, tell, touch, push,close, open as in OPEN your grammar book and READ what an action verb is

A verb is a word used to describe an action. Example:
She is swimming.
In this sentence, the word "swimming" is the verb, as it describes the action.

Intransitive verbs are verbs that do not have an direct object.
For instance:
I threw the ball...has "the ball" as the direct objects that gets thrown. "throw" is a transitive verb in this sentence, NOT an intransitive verb.
I threw up....is an intransitive verb...with nothing having something done to it.

Here are some examples of intransitive verbs:

• "I ran."
• "It's raining."
• "My dog died."
• "Water evaporates when it's hot."
• "You've grown since I last saw you!"

Wikipedia has a great article about this:

noun derivative - a verb that becomes a noun by adding a suffix.

You sometimes come across words which have been derived from their roots by adding certain structures like prefixes and suffixes.


You sometimes come across words which have been derived from their roots by adding certain structures like prefixes and suffixes.
In your earlier years of schooling, you must have been done with exercises and development activities on the use of prefixes
A prefix- is a group of letters added before a word or base to alter its meaning and form a new word. In contrast, a suffix is a group of letters added after a word or base.
5 Example of prefixes:
Prefixes MEANING EXAMPLES
ana- up, back, again analogy, anatomy, anagram
anti- against antipathy, antiwar, antisocial
apo- from, away from apology, apologize
com- with, together communal, community
con- with, together connect, confide conspire
there are so many example of this. i hope it helps. remember that an adjective derivative is a noun, verb and adjective that becomes an adjective by means of adding affixes.
In this lesson, you will deal with deriving words through the use of suffixes.
A suffix added to the end of a root word.
5 Example of suffixes:
Suffixes Meaning Example
-ics things having to do with optics, physics
-ism the belief in pacifism, terrorism, socialism, communism
-logy study field of biology, geology, etymology, cardiology
-or, -er one who takes part in doctor, actor, teacher, driver
-sis act, state, condition of analysis
We have, for example, a verb that becomes a noun by adding a suffix.
This is called a noun derivative
A noun that becomes an adjective by adding a suffix is called an adjective derivative
Example of Adjective Derivative:
subject- subjective
addict- addictive
react- reactive
success- successive
care- careless
ugly- ugliness
hope- hopeless
steel- steely
accept- acceptable
obey - obedient
there are so many example of this. i hope it helps. remember that an adjective derivative is a noun, verb and adjective that becomes an adjective by means of adding affixes.
These are but few ways by which we can identify how words are derived.
