WHEN DO WE USUALLY USE AUXILIARY VERBS AUXILIARY: DO, HAVE, ETC… MODAL: CAN, MUST, ETC… AUXILIARY VERBS • We use them in short answers, instead of answering just Yes / No. • Examples: Do you speak French? Yes, I do. Quite well. AUXILIARY VERBS • To avoid repeating the main verb / verb phrase. • Example: I like dogs but my husband doesn’t AUXILIARY VERBS • With so and neither to say that something is the same. Use so+subject+auxiliary with a positive verb, and neither(or nor) +subject+auxiliary with a negative verb. • Example: I loved the film. So did I I haven’t finished yet. Neither have I He’s a doctor and so is his wife AUXILIARY VERBS • To make “echo Questions” to show interest. • Example: A:I went to a psychic yesterday. B: Did you? AUXILIARY VERBS • To show emphasis in a positive sentence. With the present/past simple, add do / does / did before the main verb. With other auxiliaries stress the auxiliary verb. • Example: You didn’t lock the door. I did lock it, I promise. Silvia isn’t coming. She is coming. I’ve just spoken to her. AUXILIARY VERBS • To make questions tags. Use a positive question tag with a negative verb and a negative question tag with a positive verb. • Question tags are often used simply to ask another person to agree with you. E.g.: It’s a nice day, isn’t it? • Question tags can also be used to check something you think is true. E.g.: She’s a painter, isn’t she? • Other examples: You won’t forget, will you?
