*The Modal Verbs*

♦️There are nine β€œtrue” modal auxiliary verbs: will, shall, would, should, can, could, may, might, and must. The verbs dare, need, used to, and ought to can also be used in the same way as modal verbs, but they do not share all the same characteristics; for this reason, they are referred to as semi-modal auxiliary verbs.

πŸ“ŒWILL
As a modal auxiliary verb, will is particularly versatile, having several different functions and meanings. It is used to form future tenses, to express willingness or ability, to make requests or offers, to complete conditional sentences, to express likelihood in the immediate present, or to issue commands.

πŸ“ŒSHALL
The modal auxiliary verb shall is used in many of the same ways as will: to form future tenses, to make requests or offers, to complete conditional sentences, or to issue maxims or commands. Although will is generally preferred in modern English, using shall adds an additional degree of politeness or formality to the sentence that will sometimes lacks.
Generally, shall is only used when I or we is the subject, though this is not a strict rule (and does not apply at all when issuing commands, as we’ll see).

πŸ“ŒWOULD
The modal auxiliary verb would has a variety of functions and uses. It is used in place of will for things that happened or began in the past, and, like shall, it is sometimes used in place of will to create more formal or polite sentences. It is also used to express requests and preferences, to describe hypothetical situations, and to politely offer or ask for advice or an opinion.

πŸ“ŒSHOULD
The modal verb should is used to politely express obligations or duties; to ask for or issue advice, suggestions, and recommendations; to describe an expectation; to create conditional sentences; and to express surprise. There are also a number of uses that occur in British English but are not common in American English.

πŸ“ŒCAN
As a modal auxiliary verb, can is most often used to express a person or thing’s ability to do something. It is also used to express or ask for permission to do something, to describe the possibility that something can happen, and to issue requests and offers.

πŸ“ŒCOULD
The modal verb could is most often used as a past-tense version of can, indicating what someone or something was able to do in the past; it can also be used instead of can as a more polite way of making a request or asking for permission. Could is also used to express a slight or uncertain possibility, as well as for making a suggestion or offer.

πŸ“ŒMIGHT
The modal verb may is used to request, grant, or describe permission; to politely offer to do something for someone; to express the possibility of something happening or occurring; or to express a wish or desire that something will be the case in the future. We can also use may as a rhetorical device to express or introduce an opinion or sentiment about something.

πŸ“ŒMIGHT
The modal verb might is most often used to express an unlikely or uncertain possibility. Might also acts as a very formal and polite way to ask for permission, and it is used as the past-tense form of may when asking permission in reported speech. It can also be used to suggest an action, or to introduce two differing possibilities.

πŸ“ŒMUST
The modal verb must is most often used to express necessityβ€”i.e., that something has to happen or be the case. We also use this sense of the word to indicate a strong intention to do something in the future, to emphasize something positive that you believe someone should do, and to rhetorically introduce or emphasize an opinion or sentiment. In addition to indicating necessity, must can be used to indicate that something is certain or very likely to happen or be true.

Assalamualaikum and hello, everyone! 😁 First and foremost, I would like to give a big thank you to Maslina for letting me join this channel. It is truly a great honour!

A little bit about myself; my name is Amy and I am from Papar, Sabah. I am currently studying a degree in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL). I love learning English and might even become an English teacher one day, so becoming an admin in this channel is a great opportunity for me to not only learn but also share knowledge with others. ✨

I will try my best to keep this channel updated along with Maslina. Look forward to our posts, ok? πŸ˜‰ Meanwhile, you can also share and invite others to join. The more, the merrier!
