Formation of Augmented Chords
Why diminish is to reduce to augment is to increase.
Augmented triad had its formula as 1-3-#5
It is also called Major sharp 5 [maj#5]
Since 1-3-5 is the formula for major triad.
Augmenting the 5th note creates a maj#5 chord.
Let's try an example.
C aug triad will have its notes as C-E-G#.
As usual; you need to transpose this up and down the keys.

D augmented triad D-F#-A#
Eb augmented triad Eb-G-B
E augmented triad E-G#-B#
F augmented triad F-A-C#
