Modal verbsare used to show the speaker’s attitude towards the action or state indicated by the infinitive, i.e. they show that the action or state denoted by the infinitive is considered as possible, obligatory, necessary, desirable, doubtful, uncertain, etc.

Modal verbs are called defective because of the following peculiarities:

1) they have no infinitive, no gerund and no participle; accordingly they have no future tense, no Continuous and Perfect tenses;

2) they are followed by the infinitive without the particle to(except ought, to be, to have and partly need and dare);

3) they have no ending –s/es in the third person singular of the present tense;

4) the interrogative and negative form of the present and past tense of modals is formed without the auxiliary verbs.

Canhas two forms: can – for the present & could – for the past.
