✨ Easy Tricks to Remember Modals

🔹 “Can, Could” = Capability or Request
🔹 “May, Might” = Possibility (May = stronger than Might)
🔹 “Shall, Will” = Future
🔹 “Should, Must, Ought to” = Duty/Advice
🔹 “Used to” = Past Habit

🎓 Trick:
👉 If you’re giving advice, use should
👉 If you’re showing strong rules or necessity, use must

🧑‍🏫 Exam Tips for Modals

✅ Always follow modals with the base form (V1) of the verb.
❌ Wrong: He can to go.
✅ Correct: He can go. 🚀

✅ Watch out for context—”may” and “might” both talk about possibility, but “might” is weaker.
✅ Don’t confuse should (advice) and must (strong obligation).
