Tidak seperti kata kerja utama, auxiliary verb tidak mempunyai arti sendiri. Kata kerja pembantu ini terdiri dari primary auxiliary verb (be, do, have) dan modal auxiliary verb (can, could, may, might, will, would, shall, should, must, ought to).

Why Should I Care about Auxiliary Verbs?
I'd wager you use auxiliary verbs and modal auxiliary verbs without giving them a second thought, so I'm mindful that this page has covered a lot of gumpf that you don't really need. Well, that's true provided we're talking about working in English. If you start learning a foreign language, it won't be too long before you'll be unpicking how they express tense, voice and mood. And, do you know what's a good starting point for that? Understanding how we do it.That said, there are three noteworthy points related to auxiliary verbs.
(Point 1) Don't write could of, should of, or would of.
If you ever write could of, should of, or would of, you're toast. It's a writing howler. It's could've (a contraction of could have), should've (should have), or would've (would have).(Point 2) Use can for ability and may for permission.
Can is a modal auxiliary verb meaning to be able to. May is a modal auxiliary verb meaning to be permitted to
. - I can whistle. (I have the ability to whistle.)
- May I have a biscuit? (Am I permitted to have a biscuit?)
- 'Can I go outside, grandma?'
- 'You can, dear. You're just not allowed.'
- Can I have a biscuit, grandma?
- 'You can, dear. You're just not allowed one.' (Can is fine here, but, hey, it's still a grandma's job to issue a 'correction.')
(Point 3) Expand can't to cannot not can not.
Cannot (one word) is the most common expansion of the contractioncan't.- You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today. (US President Abraham Lincoln)
- There cannot be a crisis next week. My schedule is already full. (US statesman Henry Kissinger)
Can't can also be expanded to can not (i.e., two words), but this is less common and usually reserved for emphasis. - I cannot do it! (Can't is usually expanded to cannot.)
- I can not do it! (This is considered more emphatic.)

).- Kevin can not only rap but dance too. (Here, can not must be written as two words. It's not an expansion of can't.)
Key Points
- Don't write could of, should of, or would of. Just don't.
- To keep your grandchildren grammatically pure, correct their use of 'Can I' to 'May I' when they're seeking permission.
- Expand can't to cannot not can not unless you're trying to be really emphatic. (Bear in mind that your readers will probably just think you've misspelt cannot.)
