    Modal verbs are auxiliary verbs like "can", "may", and "will" that express modality rather than functioning as main verbs. Modal verbs cannot function without another verb and indicate ability, possibility, necessity, or other conditions. The modal verbs are can, could, may, might, will, shall, should, ought to, must/have to, and would. They are used to form the future and conditional and are not conjugated.

    4
    Uses
    Can
    “Can” indica habilidad o posibilidad. En estos
    casos puede ser traducido como “poder” en
    español.

    Ejemplos:
    ✘ I can speak five languages. (Puedo hablar cinco
    idiomas.)
    ✘ Bill and Tom can’t help you. (Bill y Tom no pueden
    ayudarte.)
    ✘ Can I have a glass of water? (¿Puedo tomar un vaso de

    Coul
    d
    Meaning: past tense of “can”, indicates ability or
    possibility in the past

    Examples:
    ✘ Joe could speak Spanish when he was young.
    ✘ I couldn’t sleep last night.
    ✘ Could you play an instrument when you were a
    child?

    6
    May
    Meaning: used to indicate possibilities in the
    future

    Examples:

     I would bring an umbrella, it may rain


    later.
     It may be better to finish this now, rather
    than wait until tomorrow

    7
    MIGTH
    Meaning: synonym of “may”, indicates possibilities in the present
    or future
    Examples:
    ✘ I would bring an umbrella, it might rain later.
    ✘ It might be better to finish this now, rather than wait until tomorrow.

    “Might” can also be used like “may” to ask permission, but this is much
    more common in British English than in American English.

    8
    WILL
    Meaning: used to express willingness or consent
    As we will see in later lessons, “will” is used to form the future tense.
    Examples:
    ✘ I will help you.
    ✘ We will learn English.
    “Will” is used in interrogative sentence to ask for information, a favor or
    opinion.
    Examples:
    ✘ Will they find a cure for cancer?
    ✘ Will you help me move?

    9
    SHALL
    Meaning: used, like “will”, to express the future
    The use of “shall” is much more common in British
    English and is generally considered more polite.
    Examples:
    ✘ Chris shall be happy to see you.
    ✘ I’ll take the 3 o’clock train.
