What are Modal Verbs?
Modal verbs are special verbs which behave very differently from normal verbs. Here are some important differences: 1. Modal verbs do not take "-s" in the third person. Examples: 2. You use "not" to make modal verbs negative, even in Simple Present and Simple Past. Examples: 3. Many modal verbs cannot be used in the past tenses or the future tenses. Examples:
 * He can speak Chinese.
 * She should be here by 9:00.
 * He should not be late.
 * They might not come to the party.
 * He will can go with us. //Not Correct//
 * She musted study very hard. //Not Correct//
