Hi, this is a really good questions. Augmented chords commonly used for passing chords. Augmented 5th of the chord could be used as a leading tone to half step up, as a major or minor chord. For example, C Augmentd can resolve to A Major, or A minor some instances. There are other ways to look at Augmented chords in Harmonic and Melodic minor scales.
