Modals- also called modal verbs, modal auxiliary verbs, are special verbs used
mostly to express modality (properties such as possibility, obligation, etc.)
- Modal verbs are used to express something that can probably,
certainly, or possibly happen.
- Modal verbs help when speaking about ability, making requests and
offers, asking permission, and more.

 Permission– can, may, could

Can- is most often used to ask for or give permission/ shows ability
Example: Can I borrow your pen?

May- expressing possibility

Example: That may be true.

Could- used in making polite requests.

Example: Could I use the phone?

 Prohibition- can’t, mustn’t

Can’t – usually gives the idea of something that is against the rule.
Example: You can’t drive without having a driver’s license.

Mustn’t- usually means that it is the speaker who is setting the rule.
Example: You musn’t be late tomorrow.
 Obligation- have to, must
Have to- shows that the obligation comes from someone else, not the
speaker. This is usually referring to a rule or law.
Example: You have to pay your taxes.

Must- shows us that the obligation comes from the speaker.

Example: I have to do my assignment.
