• Modals are helping verbs that are used along with the main verbs to emphasize the necessity of an action.
• In the first sentence, "may" is used to specify the probability of an action taking place. Another example is - Your cousins may come to visit you next month. Also, the modal verb "may" denotes the request to perform an action.
• In the second sentence, the modal verb "would" is used to show an action that can be done by the subject. Another example is - It would not be possible for you to complete all the assignments by tomorrow evening.
• Other examples of modal verbs are can, could, may, might, will, shall, should, must, and ought to.
