2) The spelling of the present participle ("-ing" form), including exceptions for verbs ending in vowels, consonants, and doubled letters.
3) Which types of "state verbs" are almost never used in the present continuous tense because they indicate permanence or mental states. These include verbs of the mind, emotions, senses, possession, and certain other verbs. Exceptions where the meaning changes are noted.

2. Modal verbs are used to express abilities, permissions, obligations, advice, speculation, deduction and more. For example, "can" expresses ability, "may" expresses permission, and "must" expresses strong obligation.
3. Modal verbs have special forms like modal perfects to express speculation, ability or possibility in the past. For example, "may have" expresses past possibility and "couldn't have" expresses past impossibility.

An introduction-to-macbeth
Macbeth by Shakespeare is one of his most powerful plays, written in the early 1600s about events from the 11th century in Scotland. It explores themes of ambition, loyalty, and the battle between good and evil. The supernatural elements, especially the witches' prophecies that greatly influence Macbeth's actions, are also important. The play shows the battle between fate and free will, with fate ultimately stronger. Many believe the play is cursed due to Shakespeare using real witches' spells, so actors refer to it as "The Scottish Play" to avoid doom. It was first performed in 1606 for King James I, who had an interest in witches.
