According to the COCA (Corpus of Contemporary American English), these are the 100 most commonly used verbs in American English. But one thing that I find strange is that it lists helping verbs. A helping verb must be used with another verb to make sense. To test if a verb is a true verb, add "TO" before it to see if it is a true infinitive. The only exception to this "rule" that I know of is CAN. You CAN use CAN as a verb but you CAN'T say TO CAN. (Unless maybe you mean to CANCAN! Now, that's French!)

OK, let's be serious.
These are the helping verbs*:

am, are, is, was, were, be, being, been
have, has, had
shall, will
do, does, did
may, must, might
can, could, would, should
