Grammar Reference: Modal Verbs Upgrade 1 - Unit 6

Can I go to the toilet? You should stop smoking!

If you want a healthier life, you must change your habits.

Modal Verbs are a type of auxiliary verb. They are also called auxiliary verbs and are used with the main verb to form a statement or question. After the modal verbs we always use the infinitive.

Some MODAL VERBS in English are:

Indicates POSSIBILITY or ABILITY. In questions, CAN asks for permission or about possibilities. Drinking too much alcohol can be dangerous to your health. I can speak four languages fluently. Can I go to the toilet? Who can help me with my homework?

Indicates POSSIBILITY or ABILITY in the PAST. COULD is also used to state hypothesis and make speculation. The accident could have killed you. When I was a child, I couldn’t play soccer very well. If I had time, I could spend more time with my family. In this case, he could be the victim.

Indicates an OBLIGATION or PROHIBITION. MUST is used to say that we are sure something is true. You must turn off your phones inside the classroom. You mustn’t smoke inside this building. You live downtown, right? Your house must be very noisy. He must be very rich! Look at his expensive car.

Indicate an UNCERTAIN ACTION. MAY can also be used to ask for permission in formal situations. I don’t know where he is. He may (might) be in his office. The shop may (might) give us a discount in the next purchase. May I drink some water? May I have another slice of pizza?

Indicate suggestion or recommendation. SHOULD is also used to say what is correct in a situation or refer to an uncertain prediction. You should eat less if you want to lose weight. You should study more. Your grades are not good. The Police should arrest that man soon. The price of the gas should increase in the next weeks.

And you? What couldn’t you do when you were a child that you can do now? In order to have a healthier life, what should you do less or more? List some of the things you must and you mustn’t do in your classroom.
