It seems that many students may have a trouble when it comes to talk about how to form ,write or even try to say a grammatical sentence in English. I figured it out when most of my students always say this 'But teacher we have many vocabs and we know a lot of words ,but the problem is that we can't talk or write properly ' .So , the problem here is not with the words . That's what I found out through their inquiries and through what they said about the problems which would face them . So to get those inquiries solved ,I started saying this .
In English language every sentence has TWO verbs . 1 . Auxiliary verb( Helping verb) 2 . Main Verb
Before explaining that ,let's see the main structure of the English sentence . The sentence in English must have SUBJECT + VERB and may have an OBJECT
I actually tried to clarify that through different sentences which express different tenses as the following :
Example 1: , Ali is reading a book now .
Example 2 : My brother likes swimming so much .
Example 3 : She cleaned the room well .
Example 4 : I have already done my homework .
Example 5: He will send a picture to me .
Example 6 : They had finished their work before they came .
Example 7: I can read quickly
In Example1 , The helping verb is ( is) while (reading) is the main verb .
In Example2 , The helping verb is ( does) while (likes ) is the main verb .
In Example3 , The helping verb is ( did) while (cleaned) is the main verb .
In Example4 , The helping verb is ( have) while (done) is the main verb .
In Example5 , The helping verb is ( will) while (send) is the main verb .
In Example6 , The helping verb is ( had) while (finished) is the main verb .
In Example7 , The helping verb is ( can) while (read) is the main verb .
Note :
By the End of the lesson which I assigned for their inquiries ,I made sure that my students had recognized the importance of HELPING verbs in forming Yes-No questions and Wh-questions . They also had realized that the sentence in English may have no OBJECT if the verb is Intransitive . Besides that , the helping verb may not be shown as for does and did and we can figure it out throgh the main verb of the sentence . If you have any comments brothers and sisters ,they are for sure WELCOME .
