Grammatical behavior of modal verbs
Grammatically, modal verbs behave in a different way from ordinary verbs.
They have no -s in the third person singular (he, she, it).
She mights go to class.
Most modal verbs, except for ought, are followed by the verb without to.
Gallaudet should to build a new computer center.
Modal verbs have no infinitive or -ing form.
My teacher can signing well.
They make questions and negative forms without using do/did:
May I see that? / You mustn't shout.
Note that some modal verbs appear to have past tense forms (
could, should, might
), but these are not usually used with a past meaning. One exception is
could
which, when talking about ability, is used as a past form of
can
:
I could run a long way when I was younger.
Most modal verbs can be used in some of their meanings with a perfect infinitive to talk about the past:
I may have seen him yesterday. You should have told me last week.
