Modals and negations
You already know some modal verbs such as
can, to be able to, could, must, to have to and should.
Other modal verbs are ought to, might and may.
Ought to is used to talk about things that are ideal or desired.
Just like should it is used to give advice but should is more subjective.
Ought to is more formal than should.
You should listen to her new album.
She ought to pay her parking tickets.
It ought to be forbidden.
Slide 3 - Slide
May and might
May and might are used when you are unsure about something and to ask for or give permission.
May is more formal than can and could and might is even more formal.
Might is also the past tense of may.
We may take the train to Berlin.
May I leave the classroom?.
I might meet him today.
Might I look at your diary?
To make a modal negative, you place not or n't after the modal. With to be able to you place it after the form of to be and with ought to, you place it after ought. You make a negation with to have to by adding a form of to do.
