Modals are unique verbs with irregular r behavior. They are also known as modal verbs or modal
auxiliaries. They are utilized to convey actions like consent, capability, duty, potential, probability, and
willingness. Because modals alter the meaning of a statement, you must be careful.

Modal verbs are also supporting verbs that alter or modify the primary verbs' meanings. Modal verbs are
used to offer ideas, make requests, make forecasts, and make prohibitions.
