Modals

🧠 What are Modals?

👉 Modals are helping verbs used before the main verb:

📌 Structure:

Subject + modal + base verb

✔ Example:

  • You should study daily.

đŸŸĸ 1. CAN / COULD (Ability & Possibility)

✔ CAN (present ability):

  • I can speak English.

✔ COULD (past ability / polite):

  • I could swim when I was young.
  • Could you help me?

đŸ”ĩ 2. SHOULD (Advice)

👉 Very important for IELTS Writing Task 2

✔ Examples:

  • Students should focus on study.
  • Governments should improve education.

🟡 3. MUST (Strong obligation)

✔ Examples:

  • You must follow the rules.
  • People must protect the environment.

👉 Stronger than “should”


đŸŸŖ 4. MAY / MIGHT (Possibility)

✔ Examples:

  • It may rain today.
  • This might cause problems.

👉 “might” = less certain


🟠 5. WILL (Future / certainty)

✔ Examples:

  • I will study tomorrow.
  • Technology will improve life.

🔴 6. WOULD (Polite / hypothetical)

✔ Examples:

  • I would like to learn English.
  • I would travel if I had money.

👉 Very important for Band 7+


đŸ”Ĩ IELTS KEY USES

✔ Opinion:

  • Governments should invest more in education.

✔ Possibility:

  • This may lead to unemployment.

✔ Hypothetical:

  • If I had time, I would learn more.

❌ Common Mistakes

1. Adding “to” after modal

  • He can to go ❌
    ✔ He can go

2. Wrong verb form

  • She should goes ❌
    ✔ She should go

3. Double modal

  • He will can go ❌
    ✔ He will be able to go

đŸŽ¯ IELTS BAND 7+ TIP

Use a mix of modals:

  • should (advice)
  • must (strong opinion)
  • may/might (possibility)
  • would (hypothetical)

👉 This shows range of grammar


🚀 Quick Memory Trick

👉 After modal → always base verb

✔ can go
✔ should study
✔ must learn

❌ can goes
❌ should to study
