Helping verbs

Helping verbs are an important part of the English language, and they can be used
to express possibility, necessity, and obligation. They modify other verbs in a
sentence by expressing how likely something is to happen or how necessary it is for
something to occur. Examples of these verbs include “can”, “could”, “will”,
“would”, “shall” and “should”. By using these verbs correctly you can make your
sentences more precise and accurate.
Unlike verbs like “run” or “jump,” which describe actions that are rooted in
reality, helping verbs often express possibilities or probabilities. For instance,
verbs like “may” and “might” can be used to talk about things that may happen in
the future, verbs like “could” and “would” can be used to describe things that are
possibly true in the present or past, verbs like “must” and “shall” can be used in
formal writing to express obligation, and verbs like “should” can be used to talk
about desirable behavior.
