MODAL VERBS INTRODUCTION
Abstract
A quick question: What’s the difference in meaning between the underlined words in these sentences? The government must do something about crime in the cities.That’s the doorbell. It must be the postman.This article is the second of two in which we take a closer look at modal verbs, concentrating on might/may, must/have to and should/ought to. Grammatical syllabuses and descriptions often feature the terms intrinsic and extrinsic in relation to modal verbs, so we begin by explaining what these words mean.
