Helping Verb Games & Activities
Understanding how to use helping verbs is vital for a proper appreciation of English grammar. The following activities will not only introduce helping verbs to your students, but also provide them with memorable and entertaining ways to use these verbs effectively.
What are Helping Verbs and How are They Used?
Before using these activities, it's helpful to give your students a brief overview of helping verbs that includes what they are and how they are used.
Here is a list of English helping verbs.
Be/am, is/are/were/been
Can
Could
Do/does/did
Have/has had
May
Might
Must
Ought to
Shall
Should
Will
Would
Helping verbs come before the main, or lexical verb, in a sentence. A helping verb and a main verb together form a verbal phrase. For example:
If her ankle heals, Jenny will play soccer next week.
In this sentence will is the helping verb and play is the main verb.
It's possible to have up to three helping verbs as part of a verbal phrase. For example:
Kelly should have been studying all week for the exam.
It's also possible for a word to come between a helping verb and a main verb. For example:
Tina has not been able to find the right clothes for the party.
Help Find The Helpers
This activity works best if all of your students have access to the same book. Novels, short stories, or any work of fiction is suitable. This activity can be done in class or as homework, but the results should be discussed in class.
Give all students the same reading assignment.
Tell them to highlight all of the helping verbs they find as they read.
After students finish the assignment, take a class poll to determine how many helping verbs were found.
Hopefully, everyone should have found the same number of helping verbs.
If not, examine the text to find the verbs that students overlooked or the verbs that were included in their count that were not actually helping verbs
