Question

what is the function of the modal auxiliary - 'should'?

Answer 1

Hello mate,

Here is your answer

A modal is a type of auxiliary (helping) verb that is used to express: ability, possibility, permission or obligation. Modal phrases (or semi-modals) are used to express the same things as modals, but are a combination of auxiliary verbs and the preposition to.
