**Auxiliary verb**
## Footnote
Also known as: modal verb, 助动词 (zhùdòngcí), 情态动词 (qíngtài dòngcí) and 能愿动词 (néngyuàn dòngcí).
Auxiliary verbs are helping verbs that come before main verbs and help express the tone or mood of the verb. In English, these are things like "should", "will" and "can", which all change something about the situation and the speaker's attitude. Auxiliary verbs express capability, possibility, necessity, obligation or willingness.
**Characteristics:** _In sentences with auxiliary verbs, the auxiliary verb is the one that gets modified_. That is, if you want to negate a sentence with an auxiliary verb, ***put "不" before the auxiliary, not the main verb***.
Also, unlike normal verbs, auxiliary verbs can't be reduplicated, nor can they take the aspect particles: **了 (le), 着 (zhe), and 过 (guo).**
Finally, when you are responding to a question that uses an auxiliary verb, you reply with the auxiliary verb, not with the main verb that it modifies.

**Time nouns are nouns that indicate a point in time.**
93
**bǔyǔ**
**补语**
A complement is a word or phrase following a **verb** (or sometimes an **adjective**) _that provides additional meaning to the verb phrase_. Complements are not the same as objects, and can be as short as one character, or as long as a sentence. According to *A Practical Chinese Grammar for Foreigners*, complements **"show the duration, quantity, degree, result, direction or possibility of an action; or to illustrate the state, number, degree of a thing"**.

**líhécí**
**离合词**
**líhécí = verb + object = "separable verbs"**
Also known as: verb-object (vo.) phrase and 离合词 (líhécí).
[See Allset Learning article...](https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Separable_verb)
"Separable verbs" get their name from their ability to "separate" into two parts (a verb part & an object part) with other words in between. In fact, you could also simply call separable verbs "verb-object phrases" but there are some special features of Chinese verb-object phrases worth focussing on, and the name "separable verbs" calls attention to this. Mastering separable verbs can be a bit tricky, and is an essential objective of the intermediate (B1) level learner of Chinese.
