Title of the Activity: Composing clear coherent sentences using
appropriate grammatical structure: Modals
PART 1. Introduction
Modal verbs are auxiliary verbs (also called helping verbs) like can, will,
could, shall, must, would, might, and should. After a modal verb, the root form of a
verb is generally used. The word to should not appear after a modal verb. An
exception is the phrase ought to, which is considered a modal verb.
Examples:
When a modal verb precedes the main verb in a sentence or clause, use the
root of the verb rather than the infinitive, which contains the word to.
The one case in which we deviate from this rule and use the full infinitive
form of a verb is with the modal phrase “ought to”
Correct: The doctor ought to see you now. (You’ve waited long enough.)
To Do as a Modal Verb
The verb to do can be used as a modal verb or a main verb. In this sentence, to
do is being used as a main verb and can is being used as a modal verb.
Examples:
Remember, however, that do can be used as a modal verb only if there is no other
modal verb present in the sentence.
