Modal verbs
The modal verbs in English are : will, would, shall, should, can, could, may,
might, must, ought to
All modal verbs form negative sentences with “not”
I cannot play the guitar
We must not do it
She may not come tonight
All modal verbs form interrogative sentences with inversion
Should we buy him flowers?
May I help you, sir?
Will you stay for dinner?
Modal verbs are not used in continuous tenses
canning, mighting, maying, musting, woulding, oughting, shoulding, shalling are not correct expressions because modal verbs don’t get ‘-ing’ form
You cannot use ‘to’ after modal verbs
They can to sleep here ( not correct) They can sleep here ( correct )
You may to enter the shop ( not correct) You may enter the shop ( correct)
Two modal verbs don’t go one after other
I might can come ( not correct)
