  2. Modal verbs are will, would, shall, should, (ought to), may, might, can, could, must (have to)

  3. Modal verbs are used together with other "main" verbs.

  4. Model verbs used ;


  • Prediction - Will and Shall

  • Permission - Can - Could - May - Might

I practiced modal verbs from exercises on these links
