MODAL VERBS
¿Whatis a modal verb??
• Modal verbs are verbs that go before
others, example :
I play
I can play
• Add a particular nuance to the
meaning of the verb: :
I play: (yo) juego
I can play: (yo) puedo/ sé jugar
(we understand that there is a chance that he will play or has
the ability to play something)
• There are many modal verbs that you already know: can, must,
could, have to, might, will, would, should, ... and each one is used
to provide some extra meaning.
I can play can: poder> habilidad o posibilidad > Puedo jugar
• I must play
must: deber> obligación > Debo jugar
• I should play
should: debería> obligación muy suave o consejo > Debería
jugar
• I have to play
have to: tener que> fuerte obligación > Tengo que jugar
• I would play
would: ( sin traducción ) > condición o potencialidad > Jugaría
( si ...)
etc...
¿ How do they work?
• T h ey a r e i n v a r ia ble, t h a t ' s wh y...
She can dance (is not added«s» with the 3rd person
singular)
• You don't need do / does / did for negatives or questions.
• To put them in NEGATIVE add "not" behind and that's it :
We should not smoke ( cuidado con have to)
• In the INTERROGATIVES it is exchanged with the subject
Must you go? ( cuidado con have to)
• They cannot help each other:
I would can buy it ( usaríamos could)
¿ Whatmeaning does each one bring?
O Habilidad: can / could
I could run faster when I was younger.
O Posibilidad: can / could / may / might
