Modal verbs are auxiliary verbs that provide additional meaning to the main verb of a sentence. They include can, could, may, might, must, shall, should, will, would. Modal verbs do not conjugate or take tense and do not have infinitives or -ing forms. They are followed by an infinitive verb without "to." Modal verbs express concepts like permission, possibility, obligation, advice. They can have single or double meanings depending on context. Modals in the past are used with "have" to refer to past situations.
