AUX: auxiliary verb

Definition

The only truly auxiliary verb in Russian is быть “to be”. It accompanies the lexical verb of a verb phrase and expresses grammatical distinctions not carried by the lexical verb.

Examples

Russian modal verbs are not considered auxiliary and they are tagged VERB. Their behavior is only slightly different from other content verbs.
