Modal verbs

• Unit 26. Can, could and (be) able to. 
• Unit 27. Could (do) and could have (done). 
• Unit 28. Must and can't. 
• Unit 29. May and might 1. 
• Unit 30. May and might 2. 
• Unit 31. Have to and must.

There are some many forms of use of (be) able to:

• would love to - I'd love to be able to do it. (Me encantaría ser capaz de hacerlo)
• won't be able to - I will not to be able to do it. (No seré capaz de hacerlo)
• have never been able to - I have never been able to do it. (Nunca he sido capaz de hacerlo)
• hate not being able to - I hate not being able to do it. (Odio no poder hacerlo)

Remember the use of the modal auxiliary verb "ought to" , it expresses duty, necessity, desirability and similar ideas. It is often used to advise people – to tell them that they have a duty to do things. The meaning is similar to should

• You ought to attend office regularly. (Duty) 
• We ought to help the needy. (Moral obligation) 
• We ought to buy some furniture. (Necessity) 

Ought is not as forceful as must.

Moreover, we have watched two videos about modal verbs today:
