LET’S LEARN ABOUT MODAL VERBS

The modal verbs are: We use modal verbs to show if we believe something is certain, probable or possible (or not). We also use modals to do things like talking about ability, asking permission making requests and offers, and so on. CANCOULD MAYMIGHT SALLSHOULD WILLWOULD

POSSIBILITY We use the modals could, might and may to show that something is possible in the future, but not certain: They might come later. They may come by car. If we don’t hurry we could be late. We use the modal can to make general statements about what is possible: It can be very cold in winter. You can easily lose your way in the dark. We use the modal could as the past tense of can: It could be very cold in winter. You could lose your way in the dark

ABILITY We use can to talk about someone’s skill or general abilities: She can speak several languages. He can swim like a fish. You can make a lot of money if you are lucky. Help. I can’t breathe. We use could to talk about past time: She could speak several languages. They couldn’t dance very well.

PERMISSION We use Can to ask for permission to do something and Could and May is more formal and polite than can: Can I ask a question, please? Could I ask a question please? May I ask a question please? We use Can to give permission and May is a more formal and polite way of giving permission: You can go home now if you like. You may go home now, if you like.

SUGGESTION AND ADVICE We use should to make suggestions and give advice: You should send an . We should go to the gym We use could to make suggestions: You could eat out tonight. We use conditionals to give advice and Past tenses are more polite Dan will help you if you ask him. Dan would help you if you asked him.

OBLIGATION AND NECESSITY We use must – have to to say that it is necessary to do something: You must stop at a red light. You have to study to pass the final exam We use had to for this if we are talking about the past: Everyone had to bring something to eat. We could wear what we liked, but we had to look neat and tidy.

OFFERS AND INVITATIONS We use Can I… and shall I …to make offers: Can I help you? Shall I call you on your mobile? We sometime say I can... or I could... or I’ll (I will)... to make an offer: I can do that for you if you like. I could give you a lift to the station. I’ll do that for you if you like. We use would you like (to)... for invitations: Would you like to come round tomorrow? We use you must for a very polite invitation: We must meet again soon

REQUEST We use Can you and Will you for asking someone to do something, they are less polite: Can you take a message please? Will you carry this for me please? We use could you and would you as polite ways of telling or asking someone to do something: Could you take a message please? Would you carry this for me please? Could I have my bill please?
