Re: THEORY: Auxiliaries

I wanted to include auxilaries but I wasn't sure how an auxiliary should
work

If the verb inflects in mood, tense, aspect etc.. ought these inflections to
be on the auxiliary?

If those stay on the verb will the other verb be called an auxiliary


example:

I = o
you(acc) = te
to love = am

futur auxilary = wan
inceptive mark = -in


the sentence will be:

I love you = o am te

I will love you = o wan am te

I beggin to love you = o amin te


But for the sentence "I will beggin to love you", may the mark be on the
verb "to love" like:

"o wan amin te"

or is it supposed to be on the auxilary to call it an auxilary? like:

"o wanin am te"



I ask this because I have something like this in my conlang (not exactly
that because the words are longer than those I used as example) and I don't
want this to be a tense marker, I want it to be a real auxiliary, but I
simply don't know what are the rules to call it an "auxilary" and not a
"marker"
