¿Que son?

Los verbos modales (modal verbs) son verbos auxiliares que expresan habilidad, posibilidad, perm

Verbos Modales Básicos

¿Sabías que ya usas verbos modales sin darte cuenta? Palabras como can, could, may, might, must y should son tus aliados para comunicarte mejor en inglés.

Estos verbos te ayudan a expresar diferentes intenciones: can para habilidades ("I can swim"), could para posibilidades ("Could you help me?"), may para permisos formales ("May I come in?"), might para probabilidades ("It might rain"), must para obligaciones ("You must study"), y should para consejos ("You should sleep").

La regla de oro es súper simple: el verbo que viene después del modal siempre va en forma base, sin "to" ni cambios. Por ejemplo, dices "She can dance", nunca "She can dances".

💡 Tip clave: Los verbos modales son como comodines que le dan personalidad a tus oraciones en inglés.

Preguntas y Negaciones con Modales

Hacer preguntas con verbos modales es más fácil de lo que piensas. No necesitas complicarte con "do", "does" o "did" como con otros verbos.

Simplemente pon el modal al principio: "Can you help me?" es correcto, pero "Do you can help me?" está mal. El modal ya hace todo el trabajo por ti.

Para las negaciones, solo agrega "not" después del modal: "You should not go" significa "No deberías ir". Así de simple.

💡 Recuerda: Con los modales, las preguntas y negaciones son directas - nada de auxiliares extra.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.
