Answer 2

Answer:

The modal auxiliary verb is 'might' in the given sentence.

Explanation:

Modal auxiliary verbs are the helping verbs used together with the main verb and reflect ability, possibility, and permission. Mostly, the auxiliary verb comes with the main verb in a sentence. Sometimes these verbs come in combination with 'to' in a sentence. Three commonly used modal auxiliary verbs are: be, have, and do.

The other modal phrases used to express as models are must/have to, shall/should, can/could, may/might, and so on.

Use of may/might as a modal auxiliary verb

May/might is used to express formal permission or formal prohibition

Rule: may/may + V₁

The functions of the modal auxiliary in the sentence are in the following ways:

• expressing the tenses (present, past, future)
• explains the relation of the verb to the rate of flow of time.
• As the voices (active and passive)
• Emphasizing a sentence
• Quantifying verbs.
