  4. Modals and Semi- Modals

  5. Semi- modals give the same meanings just as the modals. We can replace each modal with its semi- modal in sentences. Example: • I can read English. • I am able to read English. • You must fast in Ramadan. • You have to fast in Ramadan.

  6. Notice that after a modal we don’t use the preposition (to). However, after the semi- modal we do use (to). Example: • I shouldstudy for tests. • I ought tostudy for tests. Notice also that the verb after a modal or semi- modal is a base form verb.
