MODAL VERBS
Modals (also called modal verbs, modal auxiliary verbs, modal auxiliaries) are special verbs which behave irregularly in English. They are different from normal verbs like "work, play, visit..." They give additional information about the function of the main verb that follows it. They have a great variety of communicative functions.
Here are some characteristics of modal verbs:
• They never change their form. You can't add "s", "ed", "ing"... • They are always followed by an infinitive without "to" (e.i. the bare infinitive.) • They are used to indicate modality allow speakers to express certainty, possibility, willingness,
obligation, necessity, ability
Use of modal verbs:
Modal verbs are used to express functions such as:
1. Permission 2. Ability 3. Obligation 4. Prohibition 5. Lack of necessity 6. Advice 7. possibility 8. probability
Structure with Modal Verbs A Modal verb is followed by another verb in the base form (the infinitive without the 'To') and they are not conjugated (we don't add an 'S' in third person). See the following structure:
Subject + Modal Verb + Verb (base form of the infinitive)
• I can speak English (NOT: I can to speak English) • He can speak Spanish (NOT: He can speaks Spanish) • She can speak Spanish (NOT: She cans speak Spanish)

CENTRODEBACHILLERATOTECNOLÓGICOindustrialydeserviciosN°108 ENGLISHIII Modal Verbs in Negative Sentences Subject + Modal Verb + not + Verb (base form of the infinitive)
• You must not walk on the grass. (= You mustn't walk on the grass.) • He cannot speak Arabic. (= He can't speak Arabic.) • We should not be late. (= We shouldn't be late.)
As you can see in the examples above, contractions of the Modal verb + not are normally possible.
The negative of can is cannot ('not' is joined to 'can') and the contraction is can't
Modal Verbs in Questions
Modal Verb + Subject + Verb (base form of the infinitive)
• May I help you? • Can I have another piece of cake please? • Would you like to come with us?
Probability:
First, they can be used when we want to say how sure we are that something happened / is happening /
will happen. We often call these 'modals of deduction' or 'speculation' or 'certainty' or 'probability'.
For example: • It's snowing, so it must be very cold outside.
• I don't know where John is. He could have missed the train.
• This bill can't be right. £200 for two cups of coffee!
Ability
We use 'can' and 'could' to talk about a skill or ability.
For example:
• She can speak six languages.
• My grandfather could play golf very well.
• I can't drive.

Obligation and Advice
We can use verbs such as 'must' or 'should' to say when something is necessary or
unnecessary, or to give advice.
For example:
• Children must do their homework.
• We have to wear a uniform at work.
• You should stop smoking.
Permission We can use verbs such as 'can', 'could' and 'may' to ask for and give permission. We also use
modal verbs to say something is not allowed.
• Could I leave early today, please?
• You may not use the car tonight.
• Can we swim in the lake?
• May is more formal than can or could.
Asking to do things
To ask to do something, we use can, could or may:
• Hello, can I speak to Steve, please?
• Could I use your phone?' 'Sure.'
• Do you think I could borrow your bike?
• May I come in?' 'Yes, please do.'
Offering to do things
To offer to do something, we use Can I ... ?:
• Can I help you?'

Offering and inviting
To offer or to invite, we use Would you Like ... ?
• Would you Like a cup of coffee?
• Would you Like to eat with us tonight?
• I'd Like ... is a polite way of saying what you want:
• I'd Like some information about hotels, please.
Habits We can use 'will' and 'would' to talk about habits or things we usually do, or did in the past.
For example:
• When I lived in Italy, we would often eat in the restaurant next to my flat.
• John will always be late!
