A Comparative Analysis of French and English Auxiliary Verbs
Abstract
When a verb helps another verb to form one of its tenses in a sentence, it is said to have helped the verb to make clear its meaning at that point in the sentence. This verb is called a helping or an auxiliary verb. It is auxiliary in the sense that it is indispensable as it appears in the sentence. This study, however, analyses and compares the dynamism in French and English auxiliary verbs. The study emphasizes the distinctiveness of the French auxiliary verbs and how they are applied in speech and writing. Sentences using various forms of verbs are presented in the current study both in French and English languages.
