To determine which of the given sentences has a helping verb, we need to understand what a helping verb is. A helping verb, also known as an auxiliary verb, is used alongside the main verb to express tense, mood, or voice of the main verb.
Let's analyze each sentence one by one:
[A. She had rested on the dock.]
In this sentence, the helping verb is "had." It is used alongside the main verb "rested" to indicate past perfect tense.
B. She swam across the lake.
In this sentence, there is no helping verb. The main verb "swam" stands alone.
C. He went home late.
Similarly, in this sentence, there is no helping verb. The main verb "went" stands alone.
D. Her brother paddled the canoe.
Once again, there is no helping verb in this sentence. The main verb "paddled" stands alone.
From the given options, the sentence that contains a helping verb is [A. She had rested on the dock.].
