Modal verbs

Slide 2 - Slide

Modale hulpwerkwoorden (Modal verbs) hebben zelf geen betekenis. Ze komen ALTIJD samen voor met een hoofdwerkwoord (Lexical verb) en veranderen de betekenis van dit hoofdwerkwoord. 

I can swim
I mustn't cheat
I should get more sleep 
I might come with you 

Slide 3 - Slide

Met modale hulpwerkwoorden kun je aangeven: 

Verplichting of verbod (Obligation and prohibition) 
Vaardigheid, dingen waartoe je in staat bent (ability) 
Advies (advice) 
Waarschijnlijkheid (probability) 
Toestemming (permission) 

Veel modale hulpwerkwoorden hebben meerdere toepassingen!
