Question

charu is writing a letter to her friend shivi. How to Identify the main and helping verbs?

Answer 1

Answer:

Main verbs have always suffixes like -s, -ed, -ing etc. but helping verbs like is, are, am, was, were, has, have, had, shall, will, ought, might, must etc. are simple to support the main verb according to the tense & aspect.

In this sentence,

'is' is helping verb

'writing' is main verb
