Modals
Modal verbs are a specific form of auxiliary verbs. (hulpwerkwoorden)

They do not change form. And the verb after a modal is always in the infinitive.


Slide 4 - Slide

Modals
we are going to focus on:

Can/to be able to
Could
Must
to have to
should
When a modal is in the sentence we don't use do/does/did when making questions or negations.

Modals give subtle information and meaning to a sentence.

example:

Are you able to call me back later?
both mean:
'kun je me later terug bellen?'

do you know the difference?

Can you call me back later?
= een terugbel verzoek

Are you able to call me back later?
= ben je in staat me straks terug te bellen?

'can' is used for possibility, ability, requests or giving and asking permission.

'could' is the past tense of 'can'. But is is also used for a more formal way of asking questions. Could is also used when something is likely to happen in the future.
note: 
Can you open the door for me?
DU: Kun je de deur voor me openen?
Could you open the door for me?
DU: Zou je de deur voor me kunnen openen?

Slide 9 - Slide

We use must, have to and should when an action needs to be done. 
Must and have to are used for the same purpose but the difference is who says what needs to be done.

We use must when the need comes from the speaker.
And have to when the need or obligation comes from somebody else.
Should is used to give advice, when something is the right thing to do.
