Grammar Lesson: Modal Verbs
A modal verb helps modify another verb so that the modified verb expresses more intention when expressed. Modal verbs are very common in languages that are of Germanic origin, which includes English. Modal verbs usually express necessity or a possibility. For example, verbs like "might" or "may" can be used to describe an action that is going to take place but has not happened.
Complete the following with an appropriate modal verb:
1. She ran 15 rounds of the ground; she_______ be tired.
2. Jim's car is very powerful! It _______ have cost a fortune.
3. ______ I use your pen for a minute.
