Question

sould, might, can model explain

Answer 1

A reader asked for some guidance on using the modal verbs "may," "might,""can," "could," and "ought." EditorEmily Brewsterresponds:The entries for each of these include the complete definitions, as well as many example sentences, so I will discuss here only the aspects of each that I thinkare likely to cause confusion.These verbs are all modal verbs, which means that they are generally used in combination with other verbs, and are used to change the verb's meaning to something different from simple fact. Modals express possibility, ability, prediction, permission, and necessity.
