Verbs
Verbs are words that indicate actions, existence (being / being), possession (having) or spirit,
Verbs are the most complicated part of speech. There are many types of verbs. The verb can
indicate the main action (the main verb). An auxiliary verb also adds detail to the action or helps
the main verb (they are called "complementary verbs"). Modal verbs add modality (possibility,
ability, permission, obligation, obligation, etc.). Transitive verbs connect a subject with an object.
Other verbs only need one subject (intransitive verbs). There are verbs that are composed of more
than one word (prepositional verbs and phrasal verbs).

Auxiliary Verbs (Verbos auxiliares)

There are three important verbs in English that can be used as main verbs or auxiliary verbs: “to
be”, “to have” and “to do”. Depending on the use, the meaning changes but the conjugation is
always the same.

To be
As in Spanish, this verb is very important and we use it a lot. At the same time, it is an irregular
verb in all tenses. In addition, the construction of negative and interrogative sentences is different
from how we construct those of other verbs, as we will see in the lesson on building sentences.
Also, we use this verb to construct the present continuous, as we will see later. Therefore, it is
important to understand the conjugation of this verb well.

To have
This verb means "to have" when we use it as the main verb and it means "to have" when it is used
as an auxiliary verb. We will learn more about the use of the verb “to have” as an auxiliary in the
lesson on present perfect. For now it is important to note that this verb can be used in both
situations and is an irregular verb.

To do
This verb means "to do" when we use it as the main verb. There is no direct Spanish translation for
this verb when used as an auxiliary verb. This auxiliary verb is also necessary to construct negative
and interrogative sentences. It can also be used in affirmative sentences for emphasis.
