Introduction

There are only twelve modal auxiliary verbs but they are used with very great frequency and in a

wide range of meanings. They express concepts or attitudes relating to: recommendation, obligation,
necessity, and prohibition; permission and refusal, possibility, expectation, probability and certainty,
promise and attention, ability and willingness. There are four paired forms –

can/could, may/might,

shall/should, will/would

and four single forms –

must, ought to, need, dare

In this seminary paper we will will write about can/could/be able to/could have done.First we will explain
