 Stress on auxiliary verbs in sentences
 Remember!
 An auxiliary verb combines with another verb to help 
 form the tense, mood, voice of the main verb. They are: 
 be, have, do, can, shall, will, may, must, need, used (to). 
5. Listen and underline the auxiliary verbs which are stressed. 
 Then practise saying the sentences.
 1. Life will be improved in those remote areas.
 2. They can see the rain coming in from the west.
 3. You did make me laugh!
 4. He hasn't handed in his assignment.
 5. I don't like the idea of going there at night.
 6. Sam doesn't like fast food but I do. Remember!
An auxiliary verb is not usually stressed.
Example: We’ll start from here.
 Does he like it?
However, an auxiliary will often be stressed when:
• it is emphasised.
Example: I have done my homework.
• we add it to emphasise the main verb.
Example: I did see him at the party.
• it comes at the end of the sentence.
Example: I can’t attend the meeting, but John can.
• it is negative.
Example: He isn’t coming. 6. Underline an auxiliary if it is stressed. Then listen, check, 
 and repeat the sentences.
