MODAL VERBS STRUCTURE

MODAL VERBS STRUCTURE 1. How do we use modal verbs? Affirmative: subject + modal + infinitive ex. She should stay Negative: subject + modal(n't) + infinitive ex: She shouldn't stay Interrogative: (Wh)Modal + subject + inf.? ex: Why should she stay?

MODAL VERBS STRUCTURE 2. Modal verbs are used with infinitives without to (bare infinitives) with the exception of ought to: We must get there before 7 o'clock. She should study harder. I ought to go home now. (Have to is studied with modal verbs but it's not a pure modal verb as it needs auxiliary verbs and has -s in the third person singular)

MODAL VERBS STRUCTURE 3. Modal verbs do not add -s or -es to the third person singular. They are invariable verbs. He can swim. He cans wim

MODAL VERBS STRUCTURE 4. They don't need auxiliaries to form short answers or negative and interrogative sentences: She shouldn't eat salt. She doesn't should eat salt May I help you? Yes, you may. Do I may help you? Yes you do 5. They do not have infinitives or -ing forms. canning to might

MODAL VERBS STRUCTURE 6. Modal verbs do not have all the tenses. They use other verbs to complete the tenses: can > could, be able to They can swim now > She will be able to swim next year must > had to You must come early > You had to come early yesterday
