Helping verbs, also known as auxiliary verbs, work together with the main verb to show the tense or possibility of an action. The helping verbs 'is,' 'are,' and 'am' are forms of the verb 'to be' and are commonly used in the present continuous tense. Understanding how to use these verbs correctly will improve your sentence structure and overall grammar skills.
