OTHER USES OF HELPING VERBS AS PRIMARY AUXILIARIES (TAKING VERB TO DO AS AN EXAMPLE):
Read the following
conversation and pay attention to the auxiliary verb “did“:
John: (1)Did
you watch last night’s game?
Adam: Yeah! I
(2)did. I bet you liked Rooney’s goal, (3)didn’t you?
John: Oh, yes!
It was great! But I actually preferred Van Persie’s goal.
Adam:(4)Did
you? But overall he (5)didn’t play well, (6)did he?
John: No, not
really. But he (7)did score a great goal, right?
Adam:Yeah, I
guess so. But so (8)did Rooney, in my opinion.
Now, let’s see
the uses of “did” in each case (1 – 8):
(1) Question form: to ask questions: Did
you do…?
(2) Short answer: to avoid repeating the
main verb: Yes, I did. / No, I didn’t.
(3) Question tag: asking for clarification
or approval, at the end of a statement: didn’t you?
(4) Echo questions: expressing certain
surprise at something said by someone else: did you?
(5) Negative form: to negate a verb: didn’t
play well.
(6) Question tag: same as (3), but in
positive form: did he?
(7) Emphasising auxiliary: to emphasise
that something happened or was so: he did score a great goal.
(8) Agreement or similarity: to express
agreement or similarity with a previous statement or idea: so did Rooney.
So these 7/8
points summarise the main uses of auxiliary verbs. These very same uses apply
to other auxiliaries such as have, am/is/are, was/were, modal verbs, etc.
