TYPES OF MODALS

Types of modals

Modals include modal verbs, semi-modal verbs (is also known as marginal verbs) and

They combine with main verbs and modify their meanings.
मॉडल्स में मोडल क्रियाएं, सेमी-मोडल क्रियाएं (इसे सीमांत क्रियाएं भी कहा जाता है) और शामिल हैं

वे मुख्य क्रियाओं के साथ संयोजन करते हैं और अपने अर्थ को संशोधित करते हैं।

Modal verbs
The modal verbs are: can, could, may, might, will,shall, must, should and would.


Modal verbs always use two different ways.
(1) Modal verbs always use first form of verb.
And the format should be used
Subject + modal verb +( first form of verb) + object.

Ex- she can dance on the stage.
Ex- it may rain today.

(2) modal verbs use third form of verb when they usually show past time,
And the format should be used.

Subject + modal verb + have + (third form of verb) + object.
Ex- he may have taught her.
Ex- she can have come here.


Semi-modal verbs
The semi-modal verbs (or marginal verbs) are: dare, need, like, want and used to.

They work similarly to modal verbs but also share some characteristics with main verbs.
