aux: auxiliary

An aux (auxiliary) of a clause is a function word associated (a verb) with a verbal predicate that expresses categories such as tense, mood, aspect, voice or evidentiality. In German this includes verbs sein and haben when they indicate past tense, verb werden when it indicates future tense or a poosibility, as well as modal verbs.

Note that modal verbs can also be full verbs, in which case they are not associated with another infinitive verb.
