Abstract

Starting from the fact that auxiliary verbs have the same grammatical function, irrespective of the language taken into consideration, the present paper aims at identifying relevant formal and semantic similarities and dissimilarities between the most common auxiliary verbs in English, Romanian and Italian and at proving that certain semantic features shared by the auxiliary verbs analyzed (to be and to have) may represent a useful tool for teaching English auxiliary verbs to Romanian and/or Italian students.
