16. Modal Verbs
16.1. The function of modal verbs is to change or complement the meaning of the main verb expressing possibility of ideas, obligation , deduction, desire , prohibition, will, capacity , etc. See , then , the modal verbs and what each one basically states:
16.2. Can (capacidade): I can run for a long time. Could (possibilidade): I could do it, but I don’t want. Might (probabilidade): You might go with me. Should (conselho): You should visit your mother. May (pedido): May I go to the party? Must (obrigação): He must study English. Ought to (conselho): You ought to know Rio de Janeiro. Would (pedido): Would you help me with this? Shall (sugestão): Shall we study?
16.3. Some rules: No need to use the modal verb with the particle " to" and the main verb is in the infinitive in its basic form , without the "to " . It is wrong to say, for example, "You can now go to " ( You can go now ) , it is okay to say "You can go now ."
16.4. Note: The only modal verb that does not follow this rule is the "ought " to be always followed by "to". Ex: " He ought to sell his old car "
16.5. The modals can also be used in the negative , adding the "not " in the sentence construction . And in interrogative sentences , putting the modal verbs before the subject . Ex: You must not (mustn’t) pay the bills for your son. Could you be wrong about this?
