query _ <aux !VERB gives me 8 strange cases. The first one I am sure is not an aux verb:

A group of dogs are racing furiously and have muzzles on the noses (HAVE is not aux in this case)
Two cases of "X are getting airborne", aux should connect are and getting, instead of airborne? similarly "X are getting bored"?
"X has the case open" has and open are aux connected?
four cases of "X is being drunk" passive voice, drunk is not adj, but participle?

query !VERB <aux _ produces 27 cases all of the form "to <aux infinitive verb".

vcvpaiva changed the title ~~aux needs to connect verbs?~~ aux needs to connect verbs
