In the sentence "? Those who bother about them I would not know who they were "(a doll's house, by Henrik Ibsen), the underlined words help verbs" do. " These are called "primary" auxiliary verbs because they either help the main verb or act as one.

"Be"
This primary auxiliary verb can be deceptive because it shows a state of existence but no action. Therefore, in expressive writing, the use of "be" is not recommended. Instead, the action appears as a present or past participle:

"You are watching a movie."
"They were helping us move."
Here, the underlined words function as present and past forms, respectively, of the auxiliary verb "Ser".

"Do"
The verb "do" can perform different functions:

"Do you want tea?" (Question)
"They don't like broccoli." (Negative connotation)
"I like to eat broccoli." (Emphasis)

This verb puts a sentence in the perfect tense, showing that an action has already been performed:

“I have done my homework”.

Examples of helping verbs in literature
Example 1: The Key (by Isaac Bashevis Singer)
" A pigeon has landed nearby. It jumped on its little red feet and pecked at what was a dirty piece of stale bread or dried mud could be. ”

These lines have made use of linking verbs. The primary linking verb here is" have "which expresses the ability to do something, and the auxiliary modal verb is" could "which expresses the possibility (by Harper Lee)
"When he was almost thirteen, my brother Jem had a badly broken arm in the elbow. When enough years had passed to look back on them, we sometimes discussed the events that led to his accident ... Simon would have thought with impotent ... “

These lines have used the primary auxiliary verbs" was "," had "and" have " . Here, "was" acts as the main verb, while "had" and "haben" act as auxiliary verbs to support the main verbs "away" and "considered". ”

Example # 3: Heart of Darkness (by Joseph Conrad)
“ I couldn't put it down… He had his second illness then. Then I had to stay out of the way; But I did not care. He lived for the most part in those lake towns. When he went down to the river, he sometimes would take me, and sometimes it was better for me to be careful.

Conrad has used three primary helper verbs in this passage: "had," "was," and "did." He has also used two modal helper verbs: "could" and "would", which make the ideas presented possible.

Example # 4: A Red Red Rose (by Robert Burns)
"I will love you still, my dear,
While The sands of life will run.

And may it go well, my only love!
And may it go well for a while!
And I will return, my love,
even though it was ten thousand miles. ”

In these lines, the speaker uses hyperbole to express his deep love for his beloved. He says his last goodbye by using the modal helper verbs "will" and "will", in order to promise him that he will return.

Function
