Os Modal Verbs são um grupo de verbos auxliares que não mudam a sua forma ao serem conjugados nas terceiras pessoas do singular no presente (he, she, it). Por isso, eles não possuem as terminações possíveis como: “s”, “es” ou “ies”.  

São verbos utilizados para expressar capacidade, possibilidade, obrigação, permissão, suposição, pedido, vontade ou desejo.  

Sempre que são utilizados em uma sentença, o verbo seguinte deve vir no infinitivo, só que sem o “to”

Alguns Modal Verbs podem ser:  

• Can: exprime permissão / habilidade / possibilidade  
• Could: exprime habilidade (no passado) / permissão  
• Ought to: usado para dar conselho
• Should: usado para dar conselho  
• May: exprime possibilidade / permissão  
• Might: exprime possibilidade no presente ou no passado
• Must: exprime obrigação / probabilidade
