Modal verbs
Modal verbs are used to express ideas like possibility, necessity, permission, and obligation. The main modal verbs in English are can, could, may, might, shall, should, will, would, must. Modal verbs do not change form based on time or tense. They are used with other verbs to modify meanings like ability, suggestion, permission, expectation, obligation, certainty and possibility. Each modal verb has specific meanings and uses in sentences.
English: Modals
Modal verbs are auxiliary verbs that provide additional meaning to the main verb of a sentence. There are three categories of modal verbs: single concept modals that have one meaning, double concept modals that have two meanings depending on context, and modals used in the past tense. Modal verbs do not conjugate or take infinitives, and are followed by the bare infinitive form of the main verb. Their meaning depends on whether they express concepts like permission, obligation, possibility, or past habitual actions.

Modal verbs are used in English to express modality, which refers to possibility, probability, necessity, obligation, and other subjective attitudes. The nine modal verbs in English are can, could, may, might, must, shall, should, will, and would. Modal verbs always appear in the first position of the verb phrase and do not show tense or number. Double modals, while used in some dialects, are proscribed in prescriptive grammars. Modal verbs have a wide range of pragmatic uses that depend on context.
