    MODAL VERBS

    Characteristics

     They are INCOMPLETE VERBS. They


    don’t have all the tenses. There is not past
    participle, so there is not passive. They use
    other verbs to complete the tenses.
    - CAN is completed with BE ABLE TO
    “They can play the piano.”
    “They will be able to play the piano in the future.”
    - MUST is completed with HAVE TO
    “You must come early.”
    “You had to come early yesterday.”
     They don’t have –s in third person singular of
    the present simple
    “ He can open the door”
    “ She must come early”
     They are followed by an infinitive without 'to' in
    most cases.
    BUT:
    NEED takes 'to' when expressing absence of
    obligation in the negative:
    You do not need to stay if you don't want to.

    OUGHT TO is a special case and you must learn


    it like that. It expresses convenience.
    Ex: You ought to study more more if you want to
    pass the exam.
