Hello,
I was familiar with auxiliaries, I mean I thought that only what follows are considered to be auxiliaries in English (can, could, may, might, shall, should, will, would, ought to) but I came across the following verbs in a book as auxiliaries (to go, to run, to help, to find, to want, to need to). I have 2 questions:
1. Why are the above mentioned verbs (go, run, etc.) are considered as auxiliaries? Is there any rule for recognising them?
2. What other auxiliaries do we have in English except the ones that I mentioned above?
