D. 3. Modals
All the auxiliary verbs except be, do and have are called modals. Unlike other auxiliary verbs modals only exist in their helping form; they cannot act alone as the-main verb in a sentence. They are verbs which ‘help’ other verbs to express a meaning : it is important to realise that “modal verbs” have no meaning by thetnselves. A modal verb such as would bus several varying functions; it can be used, for example, to help verbs express ideas about the past, the present and the future. It is therefore wrong to simply believe that”would is the past of ter : it is many other things.
The modals auxiliaries are : can, could, shall, should, will, would, may, might, oughtto.
Aniket should learn English.
She might win a prize.
Bihar Board Class 8 English Book Solution Chapter 12
Use a base form of the verb after a modal.
He should leave now. (NOT : should to leave; NOT : should leaving)
Modals never have an -s/-es, -ed, or -ing ending.
She can speak English well. (NOT : She cans)
Don’t use two modals together.
You will have to go to school. (NOT : You will mist go to school.)
I might have to leave early. (NOTE: I might must leave early.)
Compare affirmatives, negatives and questions with modals :
Affirmative : Anuj can speak Tamil.
Negative : Anuj can’t speak Tamil.
Yes/No Question : Can Anuj speak English ?
Short answer; Yes, he can/No, he can’t.
WH-Question: Why can’t Anuj speak Tamil ?
Subject question ; Who can speak Tamil ?
To express an obligation or necessity for an action in the present of the future we can use must or have to. There is a difference in meaning.
(a) Must is used when the authority comes from the speaker.

(b) Have to is used when the authority comes from outside the speaker.

Beat the Clock Summary in Hindi
कई चीजें हैं जो हमारा समय बर्बाद करते हैं। फोन करना या किसी के फोन का आना भी उनमें से एक है। हमें फोन करने या किसी से फोन पर बातें करने का एक समय निश्चित कर लेना चाहिए या फिर यह तय कर लें कि पढ़ाई के समय, महत्वपूर्ण कार्य के दौरान फोन प्राप्त न करें। इस सम्बन्ध में अपने मित्रों को भी सूचित कर दें और काम खत्म होने के बाद उन्हें फोन कर लें। अपने पढ़ने के टेबुल को साफ-सुथरा रखें । उस पर पुरानी या व्यर्थ की चीजें न रखें। साथ ही अपनी चीजों को एक निश्चित स्थान पर रखें तो समय बर्बाद होने से बचता है।
