"They must eat a proper meal before leaving"- the underlined part is the modal auxiliary.

  • A modal auxiliary is a helper verb
  • It is used in conjunction with a verb, in this case, "eat", to denote a condition. This means that an action must occur
  • A modal auxiliary is almost always used with its verb; it should only be used separately if the verb in question has already been mentioned. For example; "Can you swim for ten hours" - "Yes I can". In this example, "can" is the modal auxiliary while the main verb is "swim"
  • Modal auxiliaries are implemented to change the meaning of the sentence slightly. They offer freedom to the writer and can be used to convey what the speaker is trying to say
