2. We generally do not use two simple modals together.
However, we can use most simple modals together
with a phrasal modal. For example:
I for better service.would be willing to pay
We strategies to overcome this problem.may be willing to develop
3. Students their own groups.should be allowed to form
Have you called your cousin? He might

4. Physicians medicine the way they choose.must be permitted to practice
City workers until next year for a salary increase.will have to wait
5. can could
Simple modals include:
may might
will would
----- should
must -----
be able to
Phrasal modals include:
be allowed to
be permitted to
be required to
be willing to
have to
Be careful! We do not usually combine can/could with
be able to or can with have to.
