🔍 What Are Modals?
Modals are helping verbs (also called modal auxiliary verbs) that express ability, possibility, permission, necessity, obligation, advice, etc.
🧩 Examples of Modals:
can, could, may, might, must, shall, should, will, would, ought to, need, dare, used to
📘 Important Modals & Their Meanings
| 🔤 Modal | 📝 Meaning | 🧪 Example |
| Can | Ability / Permission | I can swim. 🏊♂️ Can I leave early? 🕒 |
| Could | Past ability / Polite request / Possibility | I could run fast when I was young. 🚴 Could you help me? 🤝 |
| May | Permission / Possibility | May I use your pen? ✍️ It may rain. 🌧️ |
| Might | Weak possibility | He might be at home. 🏠 |
| Must | Obligation / Strong belief | You must wear a helmet. 🪖 He must be tired. 😴 |
| Shall | Future (formal) / Suggestion | I shall return. 🔙 Shall we dance? 💃🕺 |
| Should | Advice / Expectation | You should study well. 📚 He should be home by now. 🕰️ |
| Will | Future certainty / Promise | I will call you later. 📞 I will help you. 💡 |
| Would | Past habit / Polite request | He would walk daily. 🚶 Would you like tea? ☕ |
| Ought to | Moral duty | You ought to respect elders. 🙏 |
| Need to | Necessity | You need to complete this today. 🧾 |
| Used to | Past habit | She used to sing beautifully. 🎤 |
💡 Real-Life Examples (Daily Use)
- Can: I can cook delicious biryani. 🍛
- May: May I come in, Sir? 🙋♂️
- Should: You should drink more water. 💧
- Must: You must not use the phone while driving. 📵
- Would: Would you like to join us for dinner? 🍽️
✨ 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).
