Auxiliary verbs are also called helping verbs.

Regular Verbs and Irregular Verbs
Those verbs that form
their past participle with ‘d’ or ‘ed’ are regular verbs. These verbs do not
undergo substantial changes while changing forms between tenses.
- If the verb ends with a vowel, only ‘d’ is added. For example:
PRESENT TENSE
|
PAST TENSE
|
Share
|
Shared
|
Scare
|
Scared
|
Dare
|
Dared
|
2. If the verb ends with a consonant, ‘ed’ is added. For example:
PRESENT
TENSE
|
PAST TENSE
|
Want
|
Wanted
|
Shout
|
Shouted
|
Kill
|
Killed
|
Those verbs that undergo substantial changes when changing forms between
tenses are irregular verbs. The changed forms of these verbs are often
unrecognisably different from the originals. For example:
PRESENT TENSE
|
PAST TENSE
|
Go
|
Went
|
Run
|
Ran
|
Think
|
Thought

Transitive Verbs and Intransitive Verbs
·
Transitive Verbs
Transitive verbs are action verbs
that have an object to receive that action.
Here are some more examples of
transitive verbs:
l I baked some cookies,I rode the
bicycle.
All of the verbs in the above sentences are transitive because an
object is receiving the action of the verb.
·
Intransitive Verbs
Intransitive verbs are action verbs
but unlike transitive verbs, they do not have an object receiving the action.
More examples of intransitive verbs:
l I laughed,I cried.
In all of the above cases the subject is performing the action of
the verb and nothing is receiving the action.
6.
Predicating or Linking Verbs

predication, it merely announces that the real predicate follows. The important
word in complement is usually an adjective.

that describes and identifies Larry, the subject)
