  • Modal verbs are followed by an infinitive without "to“.

  • You should see the doctor.
  • There is a lot of milk in the fridge. You need not buy any.
  • Exception:

What is special about the modal verbs?

  • They are special because they behave differently from other verbs in English:
  • English modal verbs have only one form.
  • You don't add "-ing", "-ed" or "-s" to them. Examples: Correct: "We must go now." Incorrect: "We are musting go now." Correct: "They said we could park here." Incorrect: "They said we coulded park here." Correct: "She can help us." Incorrect: "She cans help us."
  • aim.uz
  • 2. To form questions, change the order. Examples: "He can fix the car tomorrow." Correct: "Can he fix the car tomorrow?" Incorrect: "Does he can fix the car tomorrow?" "We should start packing our things." Correct: "Should we start packing our things?" Incorrect: "Do we should start packing our things?" "She will be ten years old next month." Correct: "Will she be ten years old next month?" Incorrect: "Does she will be ten years old next month?"
