shall should will would
am is are was were
said seems not or
have has had
Brief Explanations
Helping verbs (auxiliary verbs) support main verbs to show tense, modality, voice, etc. "shall, should, will, would" are modal auxiliaries; "am, is, are, was, were" are be-verbs (auxiliaries for continuous tenses/voice); "have, has, had" are perfect tense auxiliaries. "and, seems, not, or" includes coordinating conjunctions ("and, or"), a main verb ("seems"), and an adverb ("not")—none are helping verbs.
