CAN U GIVE EXAMPLES OF MOADLS |
||||||||||
Here's a list of the modal verbs in English:
Modals are different from normal verbs: 1: They don't use an 's' for the third person singular. Probability: First, they can be used when we want to say how sure we are that something happened / is happening / will happen. We often call these 'modals of deduction' or 'speculation' or 'certainty' or 'probability'.
Ability We use 'can' and 'could' to talk about a skill or ability.
Obligation and Advice We can use verbs such as 'must' or 'should' to say when something is necessary or unnecessary, or to give advice.
Permission We can use verbs such as 'can', 'could' and 'may' to ask for and give permission. We also use modal verbs to say something is not allowed.
Habits We can use 'will' and 'would' to talk about habits or things we usually do, or did in the past.
