Modal Auxiliaries

Modals auxiliary verbs are a very complex area of English grammar, so in this quick guide we will not be able to go into much detail, but we will at least get an overall idea of what their function is in a sentence. In an earlier section of this guide we looked at how the verb phrase can be broken down into its constituent parts and we noted that one of these parts was called a modal auxiliary verb.

Can  Be able to    Can't  Could  May  Might  Must

Have to  Need to  Needn't  Musn't  Don't have to    Should  Ought to

Examples of modal auxiliary verbs

Before we look at some of the possible meanings of modal auxiliary verbs we need to have some idea of what constitutes a modal in English and where they occur in a sentence. A few more examples should enable us to answer the second of these points fairly quickly and easily - the modals are in bold:

• He should be here by now.
• I could swim quite well when I was younger.
• You mustn't blame yourself for this.
• You might have discussed it with me first.
• You can't be serious!
• Could you open the window please?
• Must you make so much noise?
• She had to take her brother along with her.
• We ought to be going.
