1. Where would we have our picnic?
Modal words are auxiliary verbs that express the mood of the speaker in addition to the information. Would is the past tense form of will. Because it is a past tense, it is used: to talk about the past and to talk about hypotheses.
2. Can we please go to some other place ?
The modal 'can' is a commonly used modal verb in English. It is used to express; ability, opportunity, a request, to grant permission.
3. Arjun will eat with us tonight.
We can use “will” to talk about the future. We also use will to make predictions, talk about decisions, and to make promises, offers, requests and threats.
4. Would you like to have a sandwich?
would is the past tense form of will. Because it is a past tense, it is used:
• to talk about the past
• to talk about hypotheses (when we imagine something)
• for politeness.
5. People should exercise regularly.
Should is used to say that something is the proper or best thing to do, or to say that someone ought to do something or must do something.
