MODALS
'Modals' are the small verbs like can, must, and might, which give certain
meanings to main verbs.
FORM
There are twelve modal verbs:
Can
Could
May
Might
Shall
Should
Will
Would
Must
Ought to
Need (to)
Dare
Positive is formed by putting the modal between the subject and the
main verb:
We should stay.
You oughtto go.
He might come.
Negative is formed by adding not (or n't) after the modal:
We shouldn't stay.
You ought notto come.
He might notcome.
Questions are formed by changing the position of the modal and the subject:
Should we stay? Shouldn'twe stay?
Ought you to go? Oughtn'tyon to go?
Might he come? Mightn'the come?
Notes
need can be needn't [modal form) or don't need to (verb form).
Negative questions generally use n't. If not is used, there is a different word order:
Shouldn't we stay? Shouldwe notstay?
