CHAPTER II
A BRIEF DESRIPTION OF AUXILIARY VERBS
2.1 Definition of Auxiliary
The term of auxiliaries comes from the Latin auxilia help. It is generally used to describe people employed in an organization, often pre-existing as;
reserve force, acting in a support of a main military force. The term auxiliaries or auxiliary force may refer to organization where word auxiliary does not
necessarily form the formal title. Auxiliaries may also be locally recruit people who serve as an adjunct to regular military force, especially in the form of
colonial troops. We can see some statement in historical usage: •
Auxiliary Division, British paramilitary police forced raised during the Irish War of Independence 1919-21.
• Colonial Auxiliary Forces.

that it cannot stand up alone in a sentence but it needs another word. In English, every clause has a finite verb that consists of a full verb a non-
auxiliary verb and optionally one or more auxiliary verbs, each of which is a

written one auxiliary verb, and have been written two auxiliary verbs. In linguistics, an auxiliary also called helping verb, helper verb, auxiliary
verb, or verbal auxiliary is a verb functioning to give further semantic or syntactic information about the main or full verb following it. In English, the extra
meaning of an auxiliary verb impartsalters the basic form of the main verb to have one or more of the following functions: passive, progressive, perfect, modal,
