Default Re: List of To be to Have Verbs in English

Hi Mister M in Yokohama:

I am sorry for being unclear.

I will try again to explain:

In German and other languages they have usually lists of verbs that use the auxilliary verb tobe or to have. i.e. Ich habe gelernt (in German). In English, I studied or Ich bin gegangen ( I went/left).

There are lists of verbs that always take sein (to be) or Haben (to have) plus the past participle.

I am not sure if I can apply this to English too.

My student is having a hard time trying to decide when she should the verb to be+ participle and to have+ participle.

Does anyone have any tricks or list that I could give to my student?

Thanks a lot.

Suzy Q
