Abstract

Several researchers have pointed out that the verbal group, being an obligatory element of the
clause structure, carries high syntactic and semantic loads. As such, it is an area of maximum
divergence and one of the most difficult aspects to master particularly by learners of English
as a second language. On this note, this paper discusses the English auxiliary verbs, being
integral components of the verbal group. The discussion is done through reviewing the works
of different authors on the auxiliaries distinguishing the two sets - the primary auxiliaries (have,
be and do) and the modal auxiliaries (can, could, dare, may, might, must, need, ought, shall,
should, will and would). Each set of the auxiliaries are discussed with much emphasis on
different usages to illustrate how crucial the auxiliaries are, as far as the conjugation of the
verbal group is concerned.
