Modal Verb কী?

A modal verb is a helping verb used before the main verb to express ability, permission, possibility, advice, necessity, request, or willingness.

Previous Lesson-এর সাথে Connection

Lesson #13-এ আপনি Subject-Verb Agreement শিখেছেন। Modal verbs শেখার সময় একটি গুরুত্বপূর্ণ সুবিধা হলো: modal verb-এর পরে সবসময় main verb-এর base form বা V1 বসে। তাই “He can goes” নয়, “He can go” হবে।

Modal verbs main verb-এর meaning শক্তিশালী করে। শুধু “I go” বললে সাধারণ action বোঝায়। কিন্তু “I can go”, “I should go”, “I must go”, “I may go”—প্রতিটি sentence-এ meaning আলাদা হয়।

I can speak English.
You should study daily.
She may come tomorrow.
We must follow the rules.

এখানে can, should, may, এবং must — এগুলো modal verbs.
