Dad _____ the dishes because mum cooks the tea. I ___ spell all of the words on my list. To do do, does, did These are followed by the base form of a verb e.g. I do work very hard. Johnny does try his best. They did win the game last week. Put each of these auxiliaries into a sentence of your own To have Have, has, had These are followed by the past participle of the next verb e.g. I have eaten all of my food.
