Modal verbs

Slide 1 - Slide

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

I can swim
I will not cheat on my test 
I should get more sleep 
I might come with you

Met modale hulpwerkwoorden kun je aangeven: 

Verplichting of verbod: iets moet of mag niet 
Vaardigheid, dingen waartoe je in staat bent 
Advies 
Mogelijkheid / kans 
Toestemming 

Veel modale hulpwerkwoorden hebben meerdere toepassingen!
