A. Introduction to Modals
A modal is a word that comes before a verb
and gives it extra meaning like ability (can),
possibility (might), necessity (must), etc.
All modals in English are followed by a base verb,

which is a verb without any endings.
Examples:
• He can swim.
(can = modal of ability)
• She might read after dinner.

(might = modal of possibility)
• All bicycle riders must wear a helmet.

(must = modal of necessity)

base verb able to do the action

in the present.
Yes, they can. / No, they can’t.
Note #1 Note #2
When speaking quickly, can has no stress when followed by a verb. Can’t is short for cannot.
Can is reduced to /k n/. We don’t reduce can’t. Notice the one-word spelling.
Examples: • I k n ski. But: • Yes, I can. • She cannot swim.

Modals are words that come before a main verb and
give it extra meaning such as ability (can), advice
(should), necessity (must), possibility (could), etc.

Modals are always followed by a base verb.
A base verb is a verb with no ending (no -s, -ed, -ing, etc.).

Must never changes, but have to and

Modals of necessity are used for
expressing rules or strong advice. • Use have for I, you, we, they,
and plural count nouns.
In English, there are three common ways • Use has for she, he, it, non-count nouns,
