Bog'liq English 20 ball MODAL VERBS (QUESTION FORMS)
Task 1. Study the grammar material.
There are many modal verbs in English, e.g. can, could, may, might, will, would, shall, should and must (See table 5).
We use modal verbs in questions, mostly when asking about possibility, uncertainty or permission. All modal verbs are followed by a main verb (V1).
When we are making a question with modal verbs, we put the modal verb before the subject (See table 6):
Question sentence: Affirmative sentence: Should we wait? We should wait.
