  5. What does a modal do? Modals always precede the main verb and have several functions that often overlap. They indicate modality, or, how something is done. There are nine main types of modals: can, could, shall, should, will, would, may, might & must.

It can indicatepast ability... ex: I could lift 300 lbs. when I was younger. …or it can show possibility. ex: It could rain tomorrow.

  7. Shall: can show intention. It can also indicate willingness. ex: We shall win the war! Shall I accompany you to dinner? • Should:indicates logical necessity. This is a logical conclusion reached through common sense. It is not, however, an obligation. ex: You should sleep eight hours a night.
