Modal verbs

Modale hulpwerkwoorden (Modal verbs) hebben zelf geen betekenis. Ze komen ALTIJD samen voor met een hoofdwerkwoord (Lexical verb) en veranderen de betekenis van dit hoofdwerkwoord. 

I can swim

I mustn't cheat

I should get more sleep 

I might come with you 

Met modale hulpwerkwoorden kun je aangeven: 

Verplichting of verbod (Obligation and prohibition) 

Vaardigheid, dingen waartoe je in staat bent (ability) 

Advies (advice) 

Waarschijnlijkheid (probability) 

Toestemming (permission) 

Veel modale hulpwerkwoorden hebben meerdere toepassingen! 

Can / could: 

I can swim                                      - ability 

I could swim                                  - past ability 

I can do whatever I want            - permission              

Can I borrow your pen?              - permission 

You can't smoke here                 - prohibition 

You could be right                       -  possibility

Should / ought to: 

You should get more sleep                   -   advice 

It should be over any second now      -  probability 

You ought to act less childishly            - advice 

This ought not be too difficult              - probability 

May / might: 

May I please borrow a pen?                   - permission  

He may join us to the party                    - possibility 

He might come to the party later       - possibility 

Must / Mustn't 

We must listen to the authorities              - obligation 

You mustn't smoke here                              - prohibition

Er komen nog modal verbs bij, maar dit is voorlopig genoeg. 

Het makkelijkst is om de vertalingen te leren: 

Can:  Kunnen, mogen

Could: Konden, mochten 
Should: zou eigenlijk moeten 

Shouldn't: zou eigenlijk niet moeten 

May: Misschien gebeuren, mogen 

Might: Heel misschien gebeuren

Must: Moeten  

Mustn't: niet mogen 

In vorm zijn modal verbs niet moeilijk: ze hebben allemaal maar één vorm, en ze worden gevolgd door het hele werkwoord.
