CHAPTER 10.  MODAL VERBS
There are nine modal verbs in English: can, could, may, might, must, shall, should, will, and would. Two of these, will and would, have already been discussed in detail.
 
1. Formation of the modal conjugations

All of the modal verbs are used as auxiliaries, and all of them form conjugations in the same way. Thus, the other modal auxiliaries form conjugations in the same way as will and would. For instance, the conjugation of the modal auxiliary could with the verb to work is formed as follows:

MODALS
“Modal”, “mod” dan gelir. Mod, “kip” anlamına gelir. Dolayısıyla Modal, “Kiplik” demektir. Modal’lar yardımcı fiil sisteminden yararlanan ama farklı fonksiyona sahip ünitelerdir.
I don’t speak. (Konuşmam.)

I can speak. (Konuşabilirim.)

Görüldüğü gibi yardımcı fiiller, anlamlarını yükleme katmazlar. Ama Modal’lar anlamlarını yükleme katarlar.

Can: …e bilmek: güç, yetenek
ir May:. ..ebilmek: olası, tahmin
Be able to: ..e bilmek: Can’ e eşittir.

Must: …meli, …malı: Must’ta zorunluluk söyleyenden kaynaklanır,
-meli, -malı Have to: zorunda olmak. Zorunluluk var: Have to’da ise dışardan kaynaklanır.
Should: gerekir. Her ikisi de “tavsiye öneri” anlamında kullanılır. İkisinin arasında
Ought to: gerekir. çok az bir nüans farkı vardır, aynı anlamda kullanılabilirler. (Devamini Okuyun…)
