aux: auxiliary
An auxiliary of a clause is a non-main verb of the clause.
All French corpora uses 3 auxiliaries: être, avoir and faire. Only UD_French-ParTUT uses a few other modal verbs as auxiliaries: pouvoir, vouloir, aller.
The dependency aux is used in UD_French-Spoken and in UD_French-FTB for tense auxiliaries only.
UD_French-ParTUT uses the dependency aux for tense and for modal verbs.
Tense auxiliaries are annotated with the aux:tense relations in the four other French treebanks.
For the passive voice, the relation is not labeled aux but aux:pass.
For the causative auxiliary faire, the relation is aux:caus.
In French, both être and avoir can be used as tense auxiliaries.
