Answer 2

Modal Auxiliary Verbs:

Modal verbs are a kind of auxiliary verb. They facilitate the main verb for suggesting potential, expectation, permission, ability, possibility, and obligation.

When used with the main verb, modal verbs do not end with -s for the third-person singular. Modal auxiliary verbs never change form, but they have a different form for past tense.

Grammar rules for using modal auxiliary verbs

•They are followed by the verb without to.

•You don’t need an ‘s‘ for the third person singular: “He might come to the party.” (Not “he mights come to the party”.)

•You can make a question by putting the word before the person, not by using ‘do’ or ‘have’:

“Could you help me?” (Not “do you could help me?”)

•You can make a negative form by adding a form of not to the word:

1. can becomes can’t
2. will becomes won’t
3. might becomes might not (or mightn’t)
4. may becomes may not
5. could becomes couldn’t
