Modal Verbs | MUST CAN WOULD SHOULD MIGHT WILL COULD SHALL MAY


Hello everyone! Welcome back to “Learning English with Lucy”

Today, I have a grammar video for everyone

I know it’s been a long time since I did it

Since a grammar video, but many people

Asked to make a modal verb video, so

This is it. Today I want to introduce everyone

Modal verbs. I want to introduce modal verbs

Rules, how to use, when to use them.

Please be sure to note that there are many

Different situations need

Use different modal verbs, and

I can’t finish them all

So this is just an introduction

I hope you finish this lesson

Can be more comfortable

Use modal verbs. Then start it

First of all, what modal verbs?

They are a word class called “auxiliary verbs”

A small class, these verbs will give

Other verbs add some meaning.

Modal verbs are special because they follow

A set of strict rules, how to use them

It is also very special. I want to talk to you today

Nine modal verbs. Don’t put them

Confused with “half modal verbs”

Because they only need to follow some rules of the modal verb.

Okay, if I invite you to tell me now

Can these nine modal verbs be spoken?

If you can speak it out

That’s great, but if you can’t say it

I have a very simple method

Remember them, that is: three M, two W

Two C, and two S. So when you

Write them down in this way

Make it easier to remember them all

Look at the three Ms, which are must,

Might and may, then two W, will

And would, the next two C, can and could

Then there are two S:shall and must

Remember that will and should are a bit special

In spoken and informal languages

They can be abbreviated and will be written

Two “L”, i will be written as i’ll,ould

It can be written as a letter D, so

She would write she’d. most

Modal verbs express different meanings

Depends on the context

So you must

Think of a sentence or problem as an understanding

overall

Today I will help you understand this. Later

In the video we talked about

Different meanings of each modal verb

But first, we need

Learn about these rules,

How can I use it? I can’t use it

Without these rules, you will find

Modal verbs are difficult

But the good news is that all these

The rules apply to nine modal verbs

That’s all we have in this class.

Rule 1: Verb Infinitive Appears in

After the modal verb but not to, so

We can say: I may eat pizza.

I can play football. Rule 2: Modal verbs

Sole third person does not add s

She must leave. Or: It may

occur.

Rule 3: Modal verbs will not

As the tense changes, so

They are not past styles, nor are they

In the future, they will remain unchanged. and so

The simple way to remember them is: Modal verbs

No deformation, they are always prototype.

Rule 4: We are at

Using modal verbs in negative sentences

It is the same as other auxiliary verbs.

There is no “do” so we use it in negative sentences

The sentence patterns of modal verbs are:

Subject + modal verb + not + verb

Let’s look at some examples: you must not

Eat my food

You can’t eat my food. Or: I can not

Speak French

I can’t speak French. So it is always

Word Order

Just like other auxiliary verbs

Now, remember, you must learn modal verbs

Negative form of abbreviations

They are often spoken or spoken

Informal communication: might, might not

Mightn’t;must,must not,mustn’t; may,may not,

No abbreviated form.

Can,cannot,can’t;could,could not,

Couldn’t;will,will not,won’t;would,would

Not,wouldn’t;shall,shall not,shan’t;

Should, should not, shouldn’t.

Well, these are negated

Abbreviated form. Rule 5:

Knowing Rule 4 is simple

In the interrogative sentence, modal verbs

The usage is the same as other auxiliary verbs

Modal verb + subject + verb. E.g:

Can you help me

Can you help me? Will you let him

Will you agree with him? Here are the rules. just now

Let’s take a look at these one by one
