The Modals

Modal auxiliaries are helping verbs which are used with the principal verb to express certain
moods like ability, inability, permission, obligation, willingness, and conjecture.( an opinion or idea
formed without proof or sufficient evidence) .Modals do no change for person or number as other
auxiliaries do. The meanings of modal auxiliaries should be understood clearly in order to use them
properly.
