Modal Verbs Click for an introduction to modal verbs Click for another introduction to modal verbs (with added adverbs!)

Modal verbs are auxiliary verbs which cannot usually work alone. They are used with a main verb. These are modal verbs: might will should may would can could must shall ought to

Modal verbs make questions by inversion. She can go out. Can she go out? We could drive there. Could we drive there? Children should eat fruit. Should children eat fruit?

Modal verbs can be used to show possible something is, or how likely it is to happen/have happened. For example: He’s very late. He could have missed the train. It’s snowing so it must be very cold outside. They will lock the windows when they go out.

Can you spot the Modal verbs used to show possibility in these sentences? Mum might take us swimming after school. Youcould eat a banana instead of those sweets. “Hurry up! Wewill be late!” said Dad We can go the other way – it’s quicker. Youought to go to bed earlier. t Hurry up!

Which Modal verbs are missing from these sentences? Youmust be hot in that thick coat. If it’s dry, shall we play outside? He’s so fast, he shoul d win the race. I’m fed up with my long hair. might I have it cut. Did you choose these modal verbs? Which others could you have used?

We shall always enjoy a walk in the park. ability May I leave a few minutes early? I can drive a tractor. Could we go to the post box on the way? My grandfather could draw very well.
