Do is the helping verb: You do remember the helping verbs.
Past tense helping verbs (also known as auxiliary verbs) include "was," "were," "had," "did," and "would." Present tense helping verbs include "am," "is," "are," "have," and "do." These helping verbs are used with main verbs to form verb phrases in different tenses.
An easy way to remember helping verbs is to think "they have many friends". What that means is how helping verbs hang out with many, many verbs. But those regular verbs only do one thing. For examples:write only writesrun only runsread only readsAny 'extra' verb beside those "do one thing" verbs must be helping verbs. Plus, another clue is you know you saw "will" hanging around other verbs before. And you know helping verbs come first. So in "will write", you know that 'will' just helps, while 'write' just writes.
there are a lot but here are three: was, is, will be
