The words "can," "could," "may," "might," "must," "should," "would," and "will" are called modal verbs. Modal verbs are a category of auxiliary verbs that are used to express various degrees of possibility, ability, necessity, volition, or obligation in a sentence. They often modify the main verb in a sentence and indicate the attitude or viewpoint of the speaker.

They allow us to convey possibilities, obligations, permissions, preferences, and more. By using modal verbs, we can communicate with precision and clarity, expressing our intentions, thoughts, and attitudes effectively.
