No.
"Helping verbs" is another term for "auxiliary verbs."

Answered by Writeacher
No. It's clear that you haven't looked up those terms (the four answer possibilities).

You've guessed wrong twice. Now you're on your own.

I was corect with the second answer.

I took the exam and it was corect.

b. was the answer.

but thanks anyway.
Answered by Writeacher
OK, I'm glad you got it correct.

I would have put "predicates" because all are verbs, but I understand b, too.
