Modal Verbs

Modals are different from normal verbs:

A modal verb is a verb that modifies another verb to give it more intention

1: They don't use an 's' for the third person singular.

2: They make questions by inversion ('she can go' becomes 'can she go?').

3: They are followed directly by the infinitive of another verb (without 'to').
