Auxiliaries and verbals
This exercise will drill you on auxiliaries and verbals (infinitives, present participles and past participles). Several sections of Introduction to Old English are relevant: those on preterite-present verbs, which are often auxiliaries (§7.6), on dōn, gān and willan (§7.7), and on verbals (§7.9). However, since Old and Modern English construct periphrastic verbs in similar ways, your knowledge of Modern English will also help you here.
