SMART GRAMMAR #11 AUXILIARY VERBS.
Hola a [email protected]!
Bienvenidos a Smart Grammar 11,
Hoy hablaremos sobre los verbos auxiliares!
Esperamos que disfruteís del post.
En la lengua Inglesa hay verbos fuertes y verbos débiles.
Los verbos fuertes no necesitan ninguna “ayuda” y pueden ser colocados en una frase sin ningún apoyo.
Naturalmente los verbos débiles necesitan de la ayuda de los verbos menores llamados “Verbos auxiliares”.
Los verbos débiles son presente participio y el participio pasado, te familiarizaras con ellos desde ahora!
Hay tres verbos “primarios” o principales en la lengua Inglesa. Son las siguientes:
–Be
–Have
–Do
Estos verbos pueden ser utilizados como verbos ordinarios en su propio estado. Y también pueden ser usados en su forma base, en el tiempo pasado, en el presente participio y en el tiempo participio pasado.
Base form Past tense form Present participle Form Past Participle Form
Forma Base Tiempo Pasado Presente participio Participio pasado.
be was/were being been
have/has had having had
do did doing done
Sin embargo, su función secundaria en la lengua Inglesa es de actuar como verbos de apoyo.
Echad un vistazo a las frases que hay abajo y observad cómo son usados.
Be
El verbo auxiliar “Be” (Am, is, are, was and were) es utilizado para apoyar los verbos en la forma del presente participio. Normalmente se coloca delante de los verbos principales terminados en “-ing” (writing, running, doing, playing, holding) para apoyarlos.

Estoy escribiendo un libro muy largo.
He is running the marathon next week.
Correrá la maratón la próxima semana.

Have
El verbo auxiliar “Have” (Have, has y had) es utilizado para apoyar el participio pasado de los verbos donde aparece antes del participio pasado del verbo principal (written, run, done, finished, begun).
I have written a few books.
He escrito unos cuantos libros.

DO
El verbo auxiliar “Do” (Do, Does, Did) es usado para apoyar los verbos principales en preguntas
y frases negativas y para enfatizar la importancia de algo. Aparece antes del verbo principal
(like, love, enjoy, have, see) para apoyarle. Observad que el verbo principal es siempre la forma base del verbo.

SMART GRAMMAR 11 : AUXILIARY VERBS (ENGLISH VERSION)
In the English Language there are strong verbs and there are weak verbs.
Strong verbs don’t need any help and can sit in a sentence without any support.
However weak verbs need the help of small minor verb called “Auxiliary verbs”. The weak verbs are present participle verbs and past participle verbs which you will be familiar with from now on.
There are three “Primary” or main auxiliary verbs in the English Language. They are:
–Be
–Have
–Do
These verbs can be used as ordinary verbs in their own right. They can be used in their base form,
a past tense form, a present participle and a past participle form.
Base form Paste tense form Present participle form Past participle form
be was/were being been
have/has had having had
do did doing done
Be
The auxiliary verb “Be” (Am, Is, Are, was and were) is used to support the present participle
form of the verbs. It appears before the main “-ing” verbs (writing, running, doing, playing, holding) to support them.
I am writing a very long book.
He is running the marathon next week.
People are not doing much to help the environment.
She was playing games on her computer this morning.
We were holding hands in the cinema.
Have
The auxiliary verb “Have” (Have, has and had) is used to support the past participle verbs where it appears before the main verb (written, run, done, finished, begun) to support them.
I have written a few books.
Michael has run the marathon.
We have not done much to help the environment.
He hadn’t finished his homework when I saw him this morning.
By the time I got to the cinema the film had begun.
Do
The auxiliary verb “Do” (do, does and did) is used to support main verbs in question forms, negative sentences and to emphasize the importance of something. It appears before the main verb (like, love, enjoy, have, see) to support them. Notice that the main verb is always the base form of the verb.
Don’t you like music?
Does she enjoy dancing?
Did you have a good time last night?
I didn’t see you with your girlfriend.
That is everything for today,
See you in the next post!
