Modal Verbs

1. Modal verbs give information about the amount of possibility or certainty being expressed. They are usually auxiliary verbs. Although unlike auxiliary verbs, modal verbs only exist in their helping form, they cannot be alone as the only verb in a sentence.

   • Low modality
     • Might, may, could.
       • I might have another coffee.
   • High modality
     • Will, must, should.
       • I will have another coffee.
