The Vietnamese term "trợ động từ" translates to "auxiliary verb" in English. An auxiliary verb is a type of verb that helps to form different tenses, moods, voices, or aspects of the main verb in a sentence.

Usage Instructions:

In Vietnamese, "trợ động từ" is used alongside a main verb to give more information about the action or state of being. It does not carry meaning on its own but modifies the main verb.

Examples:

1. Sẽ (will):

   • "Tôi sẽ đi học." (I will go to school.)
   • Here, "sẽ" helps express a future action.

2. Đang (am/is/are - present continuous):

   • "Tôi đang đọc sách." (I am reading a book.)
   • "Đang" indicates that the action is currently happening.

3. Đã (have/has - perfect aspect):

   • "Tôi đã ăn cơm." (I have eaten rice.)
   • "Đã" shows that the action has been completed.

Advanced Usage:

Auxiliary verbs can also be used in combination to express more complex ideas: - "Phải" (must/have to): - "Tôi phải làm bài tập." (I must do my homework.) - "Có thể" (can/may): - "Tôi có thể đi chơi." (I can go out.)

Word Variants:

There are several auxiliary verbs in Vietnamese, each serving different purposes: - "Sẽ" (will) for future actions. - "Đang" (is/are) for ongoing actions. - "Đã" (have/has) for completed actions. - "Phải" (must) for necessity.

Different Meanings:

Some auxiliary verbs can have different meanings based on context. For example: - "Sẽ" can indicate a future action, but in some contexts, it can imply a strong intention or promise.
