Modal verbs are everywhere! They are a big part of speech in the English language. Frankly, in English we use them so much that after a while they become invisible to us native speakers. Which is why we need to make them visible again. That’s what today's English podcast is all about. Start learning English grammar the easy way, through listening.
✔Lesson transcript: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/parts-of-speech-english-modal-verbs/
If you are learning to speak English, you know modal verbs are an essential component of the structure of a language, because they enable us to carry out actions or show our attitude towards something. Something we will all want to do at some point in a conversation. But it can be quite difficult to understand when you come from another language.
So the modal verb “could”, if used in conjunction with another verb, will change the meaning of the sentence. For example, in the sentence “Billy could eat like a horse,” the modal verb “could” is used alongside the verb “eat” to change its meaning by implying that Billy has the capability to eat a lot.
As always, the best way to learn this type of verb modification is to hear them being used. So today we have lots and lots of practice sentences which walk you through how modal verbs can and should be used to bring your English conversations alive.
