Well, not exactly. It helps a (real) verb, right? (and a sentence has
to
have a (real) noun and a (real) verb, and, it ain't quite there yet. :-).
It's called an auxiliary verb, and I just looked up the term. (Man, it's
been a long time).
How about this one:
He ought to go.... GO is the REAL verb here.
"to go"??? Hmmm, and isn't that an infinitive verb tense? (You may
remember better, as you're younger. I just can't remember all the way
back to HS, and the good ole days of Teddy Roosevelt very well anymore).
