Welcome to this tutorial.
Today we're going to talk about the helping verbs to do and to have.
Let's get started.
Remember that we use auxiliary verbs which are also known as helping verbs to form questions negative
sentences compound tenses the perfect tense or the continuous tense and the passive voice also note
that the basic auxiliary verbs are to be to do and to have now the verbs to do and to have can be used
as auxiliary and main verbs.
Let's have a look at the examples below.
My sister does her own taxes now in the sentence.
The verb does is used as the main verb and in the sentence.
Do you believe in ghosts.
The verb do is used as an auxiliary verb to form a question.
And in the sentence and has a well-paying job the verb has is used as the main verb and has got a well-paying
job has got accelerated verb.
Remember the diverse to do and to have are irregular.
Have a look at the following table the base form of the verb do is do half have the present form do
or does have or has past form did
present participle or gerund doing having past participle done had
notes that we can use the auxiliary verbs to do and to have a when you don't want to repeat something
for example every one likes going to the movies but I don't meaning that I don't like going to the movies
B to deny something or say that it's not true for example.
Have you ever been abroad.

see to show interest in what somebody has said or to show surprise.
Have a look at the example below.

deals with.
So when you agree and neither or nor when you disagree.
Now in this case an auxiliary verb goes before the subject.
Have a look at the following examples.
She has helped me a lot.
So have I.
Meaning that I have helped you to I don't want to go to work.
Neither do I.
Meaning I don't want to go to work either.
