Modal verbs in English

Modal
Verbs
Modal verbs:
1. don't use an 's' for the third person singular
2. make questions by inversion ('she can go' becomes 'can she go?')
3. are followed directly by the infinitive of another verb (without 'to').
You must wash your hands before breakfast!
You ought to be more attentive.
© arkeltraining.com
Probability
Modal verbs can be used when we want to say how sure we
are that something happened / is happening / will happen.
It's snowing, so it must be very cold outside.
I don't know where John is. He could have missed the train.
This bill can't be right. £200 for two cups of coffee!

Ability
We use 'can' and 'could' to talk about a skill or ability.
She can speak six languages.
My grandfather could play golf very well.
I can't drive.
To talk about things that we managed to do on specific
occasions in the past, we cannot use could. Instead, we
use was/were able to.

the sale. (NOT I could get some really good
bargains in the sale.)

We can use verbs such as 'must‘, ‘ought to’ or 'should' to say
when something is necessary or unnecessary, or to give
advice.

We ought not to have ordered so much food.
You should stop smoking.

and give permission. We also use modal verbs to say
something is not allowed.

You may not use the car tonight.

Habits
We can use 'will' and 'would' to talk about habits or things
