Understanding Helping Verbs and Auxiliary Verbs defines and, demonstrates steps for locating them within the framework of a typical sentence structure, and (most importantly) illustrates the role of the helping verb. Students are encouraged not only to find and use helping verbs, but to clearly understand how helping verbs change the context of a sentence. Understanding Helping Verbs sets the framework for Advanced Helping Verbs in which the same steps are used, but adverbs and other parts of speech must be ruled out as helping verbs are located. I’ve created an entire series of teaching videos to explain the components of English Language Arts in a way that connects them to each other and to real world reading, speaking, and writing. The links for the videos in order are below. Please look for my other videos and share them with others that may find them helpful.
