So, to find an object we ask the verb by “Whom” or “what” and the answer we get is an object of that sentence. Example: -He gave me a mobile phone. Gave Whom? Answer is me. And Gave what? Answer is mobile phone. So the “gave” verb should be a transitive verb. -She reads. Reads what? No answer is found. So the reads verb is intransitive verb. ii. Auxiliary or Helping Verb: Verbs which help a Principal verb to form a sentence are called Auxiliary or Helping verb. Example: - He is singing a song.  - She is doing her job. - They are facing many problems. Here, is and are helping the main verb sing, do, face. Auxiliary verbs are two types: i. Primary or Tense Auxiliaries such as be, am, is was, are, were, been, being, have, has, had, having, do, does and did. Example: Different forms of verb are used in different situations. - I am doing the job. (present Continuous) - Ryan was sleeping that moment. (past Continuous) - It is done by her. (passive form) - Rifat reads the book. (present form as principle verb) - She is here. (principle verb) - They have completed the mission. (present perfect) - Does he make it? - Have you prepared for the situation? ii. Modal Auxiliaries such as can, could, shall, should, will, would, may, might, must, need, dare, used to, ought to etc. Modals only take the base form of verbs after them. Example: - Shall we start the game? (Asking the question) - You should read the book attentively. (Suggest) - Would you give a cup of coffee? (request) - Can I do the sum? (ability) - May I come in? (permission) - I used to have tea in the evening. (habit) - We ought to respect our seniors (moral obligation). (to be continued...)
