- Sometimes a simple predicate is made up of two or more verbs. The main verb is the most important verb in the predicate. It comes last in a group of verbs.
- A helping verb can work with the main verb to tell about an action. The helping verb always comes before the main verb.
- These words are often used as helping verbs: am, is, are, was, were, has, have, had, and will.
- Sometimes another word comes between
a main verb and a helping verb.
