Modal Verbs

Son verbos especiales con unas características comunes:


- No cambian en la 3ª persona del singular.
- Necesitan ir acompañados de otro verbo, el cual va siempre en su forma
base, sin la partícula “to”. (“Work”…. No “to work”).
- No usan verbos auxiliares para sus conjugaciones.

Los verbos modales que estudiamos son:


1) Can – can’t.
2) Could – couldn’t
3) Should – shouldn’t
4) Must – mustn’t.
5) Have to – dont’t have to.

1. Can / Can’t
Es un tipo de verbo modal, y esto significa que es un verbo especial con unas
características particulares. Los verbos modales necesitan ir siempre acompañados de
otro verbo, el cual se añade en su forma base sin la partícula “to”. Es decir, cuando
usamos el verbo modal can, siempre tenemos que poner otro verbo más: por ejemplo, el
verbo “to work”, pero sólo añadimos “work”.

Affirmative Negative Interrogative


I can work I can’t work Can I work?
You can work You can’t work Can you work?
He can work He can’t work Can he work?
She can work She can’t work Can she work?
It can work It can’t work Can it work?
We can work We can’t work Can we work?
You can work You can’t work Can you work?

Usos del verbo CAN:

1) Para expresar la habilidad o capacidad para hacer algo. Saber hacer algo.
She can swim very well.
I can play the piano.
2) Para expresar la posibilidad de hacer algo. Poder hacer algo.

3) Para expresar permiso. Poder hacer algo. (Se usa mucho en interrogativa)
Can I help you?
Can I go to the bathroom?
2. Could / Couldn’t

Es el pasado del verbo modal can, por lo que expresa habilidad y posibilidad en el
pasado.

She could read when she was tour.


In the past, robots couldn’t play music.

Se usa para expresar algo posible pero poco probable. He could be at home. O para
expresar una habilidad (natural o aprendida) que se tuvo en el pasado. She could ran
very fast when she was a girl.

También lo podemos utilizar para pedir permiso en frases interrogativas, y queda de una
forma más educada que utilizando can.
Could you help me, please?
