Expose Yourself

Modals or modal auxiliaries are helping verbs used with a principal verb. They
indicate the mood of the verb. Mood refers to the form of a verb in telling that the speaker
regards what he or she is saying as either a fact, possibility or desire, or a command. Modals
are special. They are not like the regular verbs whose function is to indicate an action or a
condition. They are used together with the main verb. When placed before a verb, each
modal can provide a different meaning to it. They have different functions such as expressing
ability, permission, obligation, possibility, necessity, and suggestion. In this module, you will
study the different modals such as can, could, may, might, must, shall, should, will, and
would. In order to use modals correctly, it is very important to understand their meaning and
function.

Modals may be single words or phrases as in:

Auxiliary Modal Phrasal Modal
may, might be allowed to, be permitted to
must have to, have got to
can, could be able to
would (past habit) used to
should, ought to be to, be supposed to
will, shall be going to, be about to

Using Modals for Making Requests

Modals may be used for making two kinds of requests:

- Request of general nature

2. Would you help me with this experiment?
3. Can you buy the tickets for me?
4. Could you buy the tickets for me?

- Specific requests for permission

1. May I leave the room now?
2. Can I borrow your dictionary?
3. Could I turn on the fan?

In responding to request, these may be used:

 to general requests

Positive Negative
a. Yes, I can. a. No, I can’t.
b. Yes, I could. (more polite) b. No, I couldn’t.
c. Yes, I will. c. No, I won’t.
d. Yes, I would. (more polite) d. No, I wouldn’t.

 to request for permission

Positive Negative

b. Yes, you can. b. No, you cannot.

Phrasal modals are generally not used to make requests but to ask literal or factual
question.
Modal: Will/Would you cook dinner now? (possible request)
Phrasal: Are you going to cook dinner now? (factual question)
