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.
