Why Helping Verbs Matter in Grammar?

Learning helping verbs helps children build stronger and clearer sentences. This concept is important in Grade 2 because: 
1. It teaches how verbs work together in a sentence. 
2. It helps children express actions happening now or in the past. 
3. It improves speaking and writing accuracy. 
4. It builds a foundation for learning verb tenses.
