auxiliary – extra  AUX

 

Modal         Meaning                                   Example

can              to request permission           Can I go to Foundations 4?

could          to express possibility             I could help you tomorrow.

may             to express possibility             I may be late for class.

coffee?

would         in if-sentences                        If I were you, I would complain.

shall we?”

If you want to use, you can use for a very formal-sounding invitation.

HIGHER LEVEL MODALS

There are also two and three-word modals,

Two-word modals:

had better – should     “You should / had better talk with your mom.”

have to – must

be supposed to – strong ‘should’, expectation   “Family is supposed to be supportive, but sometimes they are not.”

 

have got to – very strong must   “You have got to address this problem with your father-in-law.”
