Question

Which one is auxiliary?

Options
  • A

    With

  • B

    One

  • C

    Do

  • D

    For

Explanation

An auxiliary verb, also known as a helping verb, is used with a main verb to help express the main verb's tense, mood, or voice. In English, common auxiliary verbs include "be," "have," and "do." In this question, "do" is the correct answer because it functions as an auxiliary, especially in forming negatives and questions (e.g., "Do you understand?").

The other options are incorrect because they are not auxiliary verbs. "With" and "for" function as prepositions, while "one" is a pronoun, none of which modify verbs.

"With" is primarily a preposition, used to express relationships such as association or accompaniment, and is not used to modify verbs, hence it is not an auxiliary verb.

"One" is a pronoun, often used to refer to a person or thing previously mentioned or easily identified. It does not modify verbs and thus is not an auxiliary verb.

"Do" is an auxiliary verb used in English to form questions, negatives, and emphatic expressions. For example, in "Do you like pizza?", "do" helps form the question.

"For" is a preposition used to indicate purpose, destination, or duration, among other relationships, and does not serve as an auxiliary verb in sentences.
