Respuesta:Modal verbs

The modal verbs are:

can

may

must

shall

will

could

might

should

would

We use modals to show if we believe something is certain, possible or impossible:

My keys must be in the car.

It might rain tomorrow.

That can't be Peter's coat. It's too small.

We also use them to do things like talk about ability, ask permission, and make requests and offers:

I can't swim.

May I ask a question?

Could I have some tea, please?

Would you like some help?

• Permission: Modal verbs like “can,” “could” and “may” are all used for giving or asking for

permission. You can use these to teach your students how to construct polite questions.

• Prohibition: They can be used in the opposite way too. Students can use words like “can’t” and

“mustn’t” to set rules and boundaries or give orders.

• Advice: Modal verbs don’t always have to make such strong sentences. They can be used in

softer ways as well. “Should,” “ought to” and “had better” are all good ways for giving advice.

• Obligation: If you tell your students that they “need to do their homework” and “must come to

class on time,” they’ll understand that these are obligations, and things they have no choice in.

• No obligation: Modal verbs can be used to express lack of obligation too.
