Grammar 53 - Modals - Future
In the previous two High English quizzes we have looked at the rules of grammar when using modal verbs in the past tense and the present tense. In this, the last of our quizzes on modals, we look at the grammar of modal verbs in the future tense.
Modals, as we have studied in past lessons, perform the functions of a supporting verb to main verbs. Modals comprise pure modals and semi-modals. While CAN, COULD, MAY, MIGHT, MUST, SHALL, SHOULD, WILL and WOULD are pure modals, HAVE TO and OUGHT TO are semi-modals.
While modals in the past and present tenses are more straightforward, using modals in the future tense can be trickier. The most often used modal in future tense is WILL, while SHOULD and SHALL are also used. Modals in future tense take other words depending upon the particular future tense form. Here are some examples:
1 .
