Q

Auxillary verbs

A verb is often made up of more than one word. The actual verb-word is helped out by parts of the special verbs: the verb to be and the verb to have. These helping verbs are called auxiliary verbs and can help us to form tenses.

Auxiliary verbs for to have include: have, had, hasn’t, has, will have, will not have.
