    Modal verbs (can, could, must, should, ought to, may, might, will, would, shall) are modal auxiliary verbs that express ability, necessity, obligation, duty, request, permission, advice, desire, probability, possibility, etc. Modal verbs express the speaker's attitude to the action indicated by the main verb.
    Grammatical peculiarities
    Modal verbs are also called modal auxiliaries or modals. Modal verbs are sometimes called defective verbs, because they do not have all the functions of main verbs. They can't be used without a main verb, can't form gerunds or participles, and do not have any endings to show person, number, or tense.
    Formation of tenses
    Modal verbs do not have the future tense form. The future is expressed by the present tense forms with the help of the context and adverbs of time referring to the future. (With the exception of the modal verbs WILL, WOULD, of course, which express the future.)
    The meanings of modal verbs are extremely important for understanding how modal verbs work. This or that modal verb in one of its meanings can't form the past tense; in another meaning it is used only with a negative; in still another meaning it can't form a question or, on the contrary, is used only in the form of a question.
    Значения модальных глаголов чрезвычайно важны для понимания, как работают модальные глаголы. Тот или иной модальный глагол в одном из своих значений не может образовывать прошедшее время; в другом значении он употребляется только с отрицанием; в третьем значении он не может образовать вопрос или, наоборот, употребляется только в форме вопроса.
    The meanings of modal verbs are created by the context and by the grammatical constructions in which they are used. If the context is not clear enough, it may be difficult to understand in which meaning a modal verb is used.
