What to Focus On
- A modal shows the mood or attitude of a speaker.
- Modals are always followed by a main verb.
- The main verb after a modal stays in root form.
- Modal + main verb is the correct structure.
- Modals can stand alone only in question tags.
- The modal form stays the same with I, you, he, she, we, and they.
- Can is informal.
- May is polite.
- Could is more polite than may for permission.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Any modal can stand alone in a sentence without a main verb.
The verb after a modal can take -ing, past tense, or past participle form.
May is always the most polite modal for permission.
