	~~General properties of the modal auxiliaries~~:
	~~no inflection for 3rd singular~~		Special cases:
	only ~~a finite form~~
	~~Problematic cases:~~		* Modal auxiliaries: they only have tensed forms and take no -s in the third person singular present tense
	~~The verbs be~~ and ~~have have~~ the ~~properties of both verbs and auxiliaries.~~		* The infinitive marker ''to'' shows many properties of auxiliaries, and is considered an auxiliary in many theories of grammar.
	The ~~support verb do is similar to be and have, but only has a finite form.~~
	~~Infinitival~~ to shows many properties of auxiliaries, and is considered an auxiliary in many theories of grammar.
