Should Modal Auxiliary Don’t say ‘you should to go ’. Say ‘you should go’ . Should is followed by an infinitive without ‘to’. Positive (Should do) If you should do something, it is the best thing to do because it is good for you or it will help you. E.g.: I should give up smoking. You should go to bed early if you’re feeling tired. Negative (Should not do) If you should not/shouldn’t do something, it is because the thing you are planning to do, may have a bad effect or result for you. E.g.: They shouldn’t worry so much. Everything will be all right.
Ought to Modal Auxiliary Positive (Ought to do) Use this to say that you think someone should do something because it is good for them or will help them. E.g.: The doctor told him that he ought to exercise more . You ought to ask Eric. I’m sure he’d help. Negative (Ought not to do) " Ought not to do” is less common than " should " in written and spoken English. E.g.: She oughtn’t to drive if she’s been drinking.
Had better do Modal Auxiliary Use this to say that you think someone should do something because it is sensible or it will help them avoid problems. ‘ had better ’ often implies a warning or a threat of possible bad consequences. E.g.: You’d better ask your teacher for advice . It was starting to snow and we thought we had better go home .
Will do Modal Auxiliary Use “will” in these sentences that begin with I’m sure, I think, I expect, I suppose, I doubt etc , or with words such as probably, perhaps, certainly , etc. The short form of will is –’ll. E.g.: “Do you think Carla will pass her test?” “Yes, I’m sure she will.” I’ll see him again soon. They say it’ll probably snow tomorrow. Perhaps things will be better next week. In the negative, we add NOT to the end of WILL and not to the main verb. Will not is used t o make an offer, a promise or a threat. The short form of will not is won’t E.g.: Don’t worry – I won’t break it. She won’t angry about the breaking vase. Don’t say ‘ I will to talk to them ’. Say ‘ I will talk ’ . Will is followed by an infinitive (without ‘to’.)
Shall do Modal Auxiliary Use shall in questions when making suggestions about what to do, or when discussing what to do. Shall is only used with the first person ( I or we ), and is much less common than will . Examples: – Shall we go now? – What shall I tell Mike? In formal British English, you can sometimes hear I shall used to express future time. E.g.: I shall try to persuade them.
Would do Modal Auxiliary To express an intention at a time in the past, use would . Example: I tried to explain, but nobody would listen. Use would if there are conditions controlling whether something will take place. Example: I would have left yesterday if I had the money . Would is used for polite offer and request. E.g.: Would you like a cup of tea ? Would you mind repeating that ?
May, Can Modal Auxiliary Don’t say ‘ Can I to give you a hand’? Say ‘Can I give you a hand’? Both May and Can are followed by an infinitive (without ‘to’.) May I and Can I are used to an make offer, request or permission. May I is as equally polite as Could I. Can I is used informally, especially if the speaker is talking to someone he knows fairly well. Examples: – May I get you a glass of water? – Can I give you a hand?
