Modal verbs are a type of helping verbs that help to express possibility, impossibility, certainty or uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t think I “can do” that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think I “can open” the door.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He “might have visited” his friends last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He “may have gone” to the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You “must have offended” him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You “should attend” university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
