JAN SEBASTIAN PEREZ RODRIGUEZ

 Modal verbs

Los verbos modales en inglés, modal verbs (can, should, might), son verbos auxiliares que se
utilizan junto a un verbo principal para expresar funciones tales como pedir permiso o
expresar prohibición. Por ejemplo: Can I open the window? / ¿Puedo abrir la ventana?
Los modal verbs no expresan acciones (play, run) sino actitudes, opiniones y juicios de valor
del hablante. Por ejemplo: You must be very tired. / Debes estar muy cansado.
