Many modal verbs have more than one meaning. They are always followed by the simple form of a verb. For example: Andrew has to pay his rent every month. This shows that Andrew has no choice.

Modal Verbs Modal verbs are for example  may ,  can ,  must ,  should ,  need . They express an ability, permission, wish etc. to do something. (I may, can, must swim.) Many modal verbs cannot be used in all of the English tenses. That's why we need to know the substitutes to these modal verbs. Modals are different from normal verbs: 1: They don't use an 's' for the third person singular. 2: They make questions by inversion ('she can go' becomes 'can she go?'). 3: They are followed directly by the infinitive of another verb (without 'to'). Probability: First, they can be used when we want to say how sure we are that something happened / is happening / will happen. We often call these 'modals of deduction' or 'speculation' or 'certainty' or 'probability'. For example: It's snowing, so it  must be  very cold outside. I don't know where John is. He  could have missed  the train. This bill  c...
