  8. Auxiliary verb • An auxiliary verb determines the mood or tense of another verb in a phrase. Auxiliary verbs are helping verbs. They always come before the main verb. • Eg. I did not invent the light bulb. Did is the auxiliary verb.

  9. Modal • A modal is a verb that combines with another verb to show mood or tense. A modal expresses necessity , uncertainty ,ability or permission. • Eg. I can eat. If you can change the word into a question then it is a modal.

  12. Transitive verbs • Transitive verbs depend on the object of the sentence to express the full meaning. If there is an object in a sentence, then the verb is a transitive verb. • eg. Sam ran to the tree. Ran (the verb) depends on tree(the object).

  13. Intransitive verb • Intransitive verbs do not depend on the object to complete the sentence. If there is no object in the sentence then the verb is an intransitive verb. • Eg. The dog barked. Barked is an intransitive verb.
