When do we use modals?
example: "We can find your house without the street plan." "She can't have a daughter that old!" example: "You must always have your driver's licence when you are driving your car." "You needn't carry your passport around with you." example: "Do be careful with that glass, the baby might knock it over" |
| A modal verb always has the same form: | There is no past form (-ed), no present participle (-ing) and no 3rd persons singular (-s). |
| Modal verbs come before the subject in questions: | example: "May I come to your house for tea?" |
| Negative forms: | Modal verbs have n't or not
after them in the negative.
example: "mustn't" - "needn't". |
