MODAL VERBS 1. DEFINITION Modal verbs are used to show the speaker's attitude towards the action. We use them with other verbs. There are 10 modals: can, may, must, shall, should, will, would, ought to, need, dare. Modal verbs are not “complete” verbs. They are called defective because they lack (except dare and need) component tenses, the passive voice and have some other peculiarities: 1. We can’t use them as “to”-infinitives: to go, to speak. 2. We don’t use the “to”-infinitives after modals: QYou mustn’t phone now. It’s late. 3. There is no -(e)s in the 3rd person singular: Q The boss can see you now. Jn their first use modal verbs have basic meanings which are given in the dictionaries: ¢an/could ~ ability Q I can lift 25 kg /I can type. may/might — permission Q You may leave early. shall/will/would - prediction Q It will rain soon. should/ought to ~ duty Q You should do as you are told. must - total obligation Q You must be quiet. needn’t— no obligation Q You needn't wait. The second use of modal verbs is to express degrees of certainty or uncertainty. QUESTIONS AND NEGATIVES Gan you play chess? Could you swim when you were a child? can’t understand a word, Must | go there now? THE CONTRACTED FORMS can't [ka:nt] couldn't [kudnt] needn’t [ni:dnt] shouldn’t [fudnt] oughtn’t [o:tnt] mayn’t [meint] mustn't [masnt] 137 2.

(it’s possible) 4. reproach (only might) You are becoming forgetful. (mor 6b1) You might have reminded me about it. NOTES: 1. We also use can/could to ask or refuse permission. Canis the commonest and most informal: Q You're visiting your friend and want to make some coffee. You say: Can | make myself a cup of coffee? Could is more polite than can: Could | make a phone call, please? 2. We refer to “some other authority” that gives/refuses permission lke this: Q You are allowed to/not allowed to Q You are permitted to/not permitted to QYou mustn't/you are forbidden to We can ask for permission like this: Q Can/could/may/might | borrow your umbrella? Q Do you think | could/might borrow your umbrella? Ol wonder if | could/might borrow your umbrella? ermission/prohibition in other tenses than Present or Future. May is not a “complete verb”, so we use to be allowed/to be permitted to make up the missing parts: Q The children were allowed to watch TV last night. O He has just been allowed to go home after 3 hours at the police station. His doctor hadn't allowed him to take any exercises in the year before he died. 4.

It denotes the absence of possibility depending on circumstances, Pm sorry, you can’t. | rules, laws, etc. 5. Might instead of may is used because of the Sequence of Tenses: Q May |! read the letter? He asked if he might read the letter. In its second meaning may/might is used to express uncertainty, supposition implying strong doubt. May denoting uncertainty is used with all forms of the infinitive. 145 peters |— Present Moxer 6nrte, i be waiting —__J Seon | He menor on > TE owge —— have been ——__I—_Past sleeping There is no important difference between may and might in this meaning.
