As you can see in the diagram above, each group of subjects: I, You/We/They, and He/She/It, has 7 auxiliary verbs for all the 12 tenses.

• I - am, was, do, have, did, had, will.

  'am' is only used with I;

  'do' and 'have' are shared with You/We/They;

  'was' is shared with He/She/It.

• You/We/They - are, were, do, have, did, had, will.

  Remember that 'are' and 'were' both end with '-re'.

• He/She/It - is, was, does, has, did, had, will.

  Remember that 'is', 'was', 'has', and 'does' all end with '-s'.

• All the subject pronouns: I/You/We/They/He/She/It use 'did', 'had', and 'will'.

Which auxiliary verbs do I need for each tense?

Let's start with the easy ones to remember:

• Perfect - the verb 'to have':

  'have' and 'has' in present;

  'had' in past;

  'will have' in future.

• Continuous - the verb 'to be':

  'am', 'are', and 'is' in present;

  'was', 'were' in past;

  'will be' in future.

• Perfect Continuous - this is a combination of 'to have' and the past participle of 'to be' - 'been':

  'have been' and 'has been' in present;

  'had been' in past;

  'will have been' in future.

• Lastly, the most difficult tense for students, Simple, is actually a bit complex:

  'do' and 'does' in present, but only in interrogative (int.) and negative (neg.);

  'did' in past, but again, only in interrogative (int.) and negative (neg.);

  'will' in future in all three: interrogative (int.), negative (neg.), and affirmative (aff.).

• Remember that there are only two cases in which we do not need an auxiliary verb:

  Present Simple affirmative and Past Simple affirmative
