Modal verbs are special verbs that are used very differently to normal verbs. Modal verbs are always used with other verbs. The most common present modal verbs are:
- may
- might
- could
- should
- must
- can
Sentences with modal verbs are formed using:
| Subject | Modal | Verb | |
| I, You, He, She, It, We, You, They | might | have | an extra backpack for you to borrow. |
Modal verbs do not change depending on the subject, unlike most verbs.
| Normal Verb | I am / She is |
| Modal Verb | I could be / She could be |
