AUX: auxiliary verb
#####Definition An auxiliary verb is a verb that accompanies the lexical verb of a verb phrase and expresses grammatical distinctions not carried by the lexical verb, such as person, number, tense, mood, aspect, and voice.
Auxiliaries in Norwegian include the temporal, passive and modal auxiliaries (see below). Note that some modals can occur without a main verb (skal hjem lit. shall home “will go home”) and will then be annotated as VERB. The verb være/vere, “be” is considered as an auxiliary verb when used in periphrastic tense constructions or as a copula, but is annotated as a VERB in other context, e.g. when used in existential constructions.
#####Examples
- temporal: ha “have” (har spist “has eaten”), være/vere “be” (er kommet “has come”)
- passive: bli “become” (blir spist “is eaten”)
- modal: kunne “can”, skulle “should”, ville “will”, måtte “must”, burde “should” (kan/skal/vil/må/bør spise “can/should/will/must/should eat”)
- copula: være/vere, “be” (er god “is good”)
