A modal, also known as a modal verb or modal auxiliary, is a type of auxiliary verb that is used to express various meanings such as ability, possibility, permission, necessity, and obligation. Modals are used to modify the main verb in a sentence and provide additional information about the action or state expressed by the main verb. Some common modal verbs include “can,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “must,” “shall,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “ought to,” and “have to.” Modals are typically used before the base form of the main verb, and they do not have an -s form in the third person singular.
