MODAL VERBS
  1. Modal verbs express choice, ability, possibility, need or other condition. We use them for the future and the conditional.
    1. As complementary verbs that are, modal verbs do not work without another verb. This other verb always goes after the modal verb and is in the base form (the infinitive without "to"). Modal verbs are not conjugated and have no time.
      1. Modal verbs are:
        1. can, could, may,might, will,shall, should,ought to, must/have to, would
          1. examples 1can: This verb can have different translations, different from its context, but the most common are, you can, you can, I can, I know, you know, you know. An example of this I see in the following sentences: Forgive me, can you tell me what time is? Disculpa, ¿puedes decirme qué hora es? I can cook pizza. Yo sé cocinar pizza.
            1. examples 2 could: This verb (past "can") can be translated as you could or could. It also establishes possibility as we could. Some examples: We could meet up today. Podríamos encontrarnos hoy. Could you call your mom, please? ¿Podrías llamar a tu mamá, por favor?
              1. examples 3 May: May Your translations are, can, can or can. It is used as follows: May I speak now? ¿Puedo hablar ahora? We may go to the college tomorrow. Puede que vayamos mañana a la universidad.
            1. Modal verbs are auxiliary verbs that cannot function as a main verb, unlike the auxiliary verbs "be", "do" and "have" that can function as a main verb.
