fixed-form helping verbs
The sentence with a helping verb is 'c'. The helping verb in the sentence is had and the main verb is rested. Some helping verbs are has, be, was, were, did, and might. Helping verbs are verbs that are in front of a main verb.
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.
Do is the helping verb: You do remember the helping verbs.
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.
The three helping verbs for forming emphatic tenses are "shall", "will", and "do". "Shall" and "will" are used only for future tenses, but "do" can be used in all tenses. However, note that all of these verbs can be used for non-intensive tenses also.
