MODAL VERBS
Modal verbs are a type of auxiliary verb (helper verb) that are used to express a speaker's attitude or opinion about something. They can also express obligation, permission, ability, possibility, and probability. 💫Some examples of modal verbs include:- Permission: Can, could, may, must, shall, should, and will
- Ability: Can, could, may, might, must, need not, shall/will, should/ought to
Modal verbs have only one form and do not have a past simple or past participle form. They also never change form to agree with the subject. For example, in the statement “you must leave,” “must” is a modal verb indicating that it's necessary for the subject (“you”) to perform the action of the verb (“leave”). Like the bulbous garlic, modal verbs change other verbs in a sentence. In fact, they make the sentence adopt to one of the following four purposes:
To show a level of possibility;
To indicate ability;
To show obligation – a requirement to do something;
To give permission.
