Answer:
The following points will help you in understanding the difference.
- An auxiliary verb exists in the company of a main verb. So, you will find an auxiliary verb only when there are at least two verbs in the verbal phrase in a sentence.
- A main verb alone can be used to form a sentence.
- An auxiliary verb is required to form an interrogative sentence or a negative sentence. Ex. Changing the sentence He plays cricket into an interrogative one requires the use of ‘does' so that Does he play cricket is formed. Similarly, changing the sentence They broke the mirror requires the use of ‘did' so that Did they break the mirror is formed.
- There are nearly 24 verbs which are called auxiliary verbs. They are: 11 primary auxiliaries Am, is, are, was, were, have, has, had, do, does & did ; 13 modal auxiliaries--Can, may, could, might, will, shall, would, should, must, ought to, dare, need & used to.

Answer:
Also in English grammar, the distinction between auxiliary verb and full or main verb is very important. Both types have different functions in a sentence (which implies that they have different tasks) and consequently cannot ‘substitute’ or replace each other.
This differentiation plays a significant role in terms of grammar in order to be able to form a correct sentence. The following applies:
In English, only these three auxiliary verbs exist:
be, do, have
Information: Modal verbs (‘may, can, could, must’, etc.) also belong to the group of auxiliary verbs but have special rules in their use.
Function: They serve, among other things, to form the compound tenses, the progressive forms, the passive voice, as well as negations and questions.
Full verbs, on the other hand, are all remaining verbs. Therefore, they are unlimited in their number. Examples are:
to go, dance, know, evacuate, fly, repair, etc.
Be careful: The three auxiliary verbs mentioned above can also be employed as full verbs.
Function: They add meaning to the sentence and are essential for understanding the statement.
