On ne peut pas mettre un verbe à n’importe quelle forme après un auxiliaire. La forme du verbe dépend du type d’auxiliaire derrière lequel elle est placée. Voici une liste des différents auxiliaires en anglais et des formes verbales qui leur sont associées:

– BE (am / is / are / was / were) est suivi d’un verbe + ing à la forme active (quand le sujet effectue l’action): I am going to the cinema. He was listening to music.

Au passif, l’auxiliaire « be » prend le temps voulu (présent, futur, passé) et est suivi du participe passé: The work will be finished soon. The thief was arrested yesterday.

– HAVE (has / had) est suivi d’un verbe au participe passé (3ème colonne des verbes irréguliers ou verbe régulier + ed): I have seen this film. She had met him before.

– DO (does / did) est suivi de la base verbale (= infinitif sans to). Does he like the book? Did you go to London?

– les MODAUX (must, can, could, may, might, will, would, shall, should) sont suivi de la base verbale. I must go now. You should come and see.
