MODAL VERBS

General rules They help to express different meanings: ABILITY, OBLIGATION, OR POSSIBILITY They do not take -S for 3rd person ( except HAVE TO) They lack most tenses and forms They are followed by infinitive without TO (except HAVE TO)

MOST COMMON MODAL VERBS CAN COULD HAVE TO MUST MIGHT/ MAY SHOULD

ABILITY  It is expressed with CAN (present) and COULD (past) - I can speak English since I was When my father was young he could run 10 km in 15 minutes.  The negative is formed by adding NOT to the modal verb - He can’t run for long because he suffers from asthma. - There were lots of people at the concert, so we couldn’t move.  Questions are made by inverting the SUBJECT and VERB - How long can you resist under the water without breathing? - Could you read properly when you were five years old?

OBLIGATION  IN AFFIRMATIVE it is expressed with MUST and HAVE TO - Students must be in the classroom before the teacher arrives - My friend has to wear uniform at her school.  IN NEGATIVE they have different meanings MUST expresses OBLIGATION/ PROHIBITION - We mustn’t enter while they are playing. HAVE TO expresses NO OBLIGATION (absence of obligation) - You don’t have to do exercise 3 if you don’t want to. (Difference)
