Could someone check the sentences to make sure I understand helping verbs.
Each studnet in the class _____ with the butterfly project. (help)
has helped
Our class ____ a garden to attract butterflies. (plant)
has planted
Both are correct. Nice job!
Lovely work!
Good Job
To determine the helping verb in each sentence, we need to identify the main verb and then see if there is another verb (known as a helping verb) that comes before it to create a specific verb tense. Let's break down each sentence:
1. Each student in the class _____ with the butterfly project. (help)
The main verb in this sentence is "helped." To find the helping verb, we need to see if there is another verb that comes before "helped." In this case, the helping verb is "has." Therefore, the complete sentence should be: "Each student in the class has helped with the butterfly project."
2. Our class ____ a garden to attract butterflies. (plant)
The main verb in this sentence is "planted." Let's find the helping verb by checking if there is another verb before "planted." In this case, the helping verb is "has." So, the complete sentence would be: "Our class has planted a garden to attract butterflies."
Remember, helping verbs are used to express different tenses or moods in a sentence, and they often come before the main verb.
