Модальные глаголы — упражнения
Модальные глаголы (can, could, may, might, must, should, will, would) выражают не действие, а отношение к нему: возможность, обязанность, совет, разрешение или вероятность. Они не изменяются по лицам и числам, а после них используется инфинитив без частицы to (кроме ought to и have to). Выполняйте задания и получайте мгновенную проверку ответов.
