Modal Verbs

В англійській мові є група дієслів /can, may, must, should, need, have to..., be to.../, які називаються модальними. Вони не мають усіх основних форм, властивих іншим дієсловам, і тому називаються недостатніми (Defective Verbs). Модальні дієслова не вживаються самостійно, а лише в сполученні з інфінітивом іншого дієслова.

Модальні дієслова не виражають дії або стану, а лише можливість, необхідність, бажаність, ймовірність, здатність виконання дії, позначеної інфінітивом.
