Modal Verbs :)

The modal verbs are:
cancould
maymight
shallshould
willwould
We use modal verbs to show if we believe something is certain, probable or possible (or not). We also use modals to do things like talking about ability, asking permission making requests and offers, and so on.
 

What are Modal Verbs?

Modal verbs are special verbs which behave very differently from normal verbs. Here are some important differences:
1. Modal verbs do not take "-s" in the third person.
Examples:
  • He can  speak Chinese.
  • She should  be here by 9:00.
2. You use "not" to make modal verbs negative, even in Simple Present and Simple Past.
Examples:
  • He should not be late.
  • They might not come to the party.
3. Many modal verbs cannot be used in the past tenses or the future tenses.
Examples:
  • He will can go with us. Not Correct
  • She musted study very hard. Not Correct
