B- Verbos Modales (Modals) - Definición Comenzaremos a desarrollar una categoría de verbos auxiliares que se conocen con el nombre de Verbos Modales. Reciben este nombre dado que difieren de los verbos regulares e irregulares porque cumplen funciones específicas de su grupo. Estos se utilizan en combinación con otros verbos para expresar diferentes grados de capacidad, posibilidad, permiso, necesidad, obligación, prohibición, seguridad, etc., referidos al verbo principal. Veremos a continuación los principales verbos modales de la lengua inglesa: Verbos ModalesForma NegativaCANCAN NOT / CAN'TCOULDCOULD NOT/ COULDN'TMIGHTMIGHT NOTAYMAY NOTMUSTMUST NOT / MUSTN'TSHOULDSHOULD NOT / SHOULDN'TWILLWILL NOT / WON'TWOULDWOULD NOT / WOULDN'T Para emplear correctamente los verbos modales es necesario saber que no se les coloca la "S" en la 3º persona del singular y que el verbo principal de la oración se ubica a continuación en infinitivo sin el TO, por ejemplo: He must study the lesson. Él debe estudiar la lección. She can go to the party. Ella puede ir a la fiesta. También debemos decir que no se utilizan con otros auxiliares (DON'T /DOESN'T) para construir una oración negativa, ya que como verán en el cuadro superior los verbos modales poseen su propia forma, por ejemplo: They must not travel to France. Ellos no deben viajar a Francia. I can not do the homework. Yo no puedo hacer la tarea.

There was no one of interest. Two young boys with ‘chicken-head’ haircuts playing pool. An old man in the corner with a newspaper and a pint of Guinness and a young couple kissing next to the video machine. ‘This bar ................the nightlife centre of New York State’, thought Rick, sarcastically. He finished his beer and asked for another. As he was paying the door opened and a young girl came in. She had long brown hair and was unusually beautiful despite looking sad and unhappy. She was holding a small wooden box. ‘..................I buy you a drink, babe?’ Rick asked the girl, ‘You look as though you ............................need one.’ ‘Well,’ replied the girl, ‘I ............................really because I’m only fifteen, but if you insist I’ll have a double brandy.’ ‘A double brandy, Mac.’ Said Rick to the barman. Rick turned to speak to the girl and raised his glass. ‘My luck ........................changing. So far my day has been a complete disaster, you’re the best thing that’s happened to me. Tell me kid, what’s in that box?’ The girl looked at Rick with sadness in her eyes. ‘I ………………………………..show you. I ............................open it.’  ‘But what’s in it?’ insisted Rick, ‘You can tell me.’

You’d better tell me kid, or I’ll ..............................report you for drinking underage’. ‘But you bought me the drink! You damn cops are all the same!’ ‘I’m not a cop honey,’ said Rick, ‘I’m a private investigator. Now tell me what’s in the damn box!’ ‘Your dreams.’ said the girl, ‘Everything you wish for.’ ‘Did you open the box?’ asked Rick. ‘Yes, of course.’ replied the girl, ‘That’s why I’m so sad.’ ‘I don’t understand’, said Rick, ‘Why you be sad if you have your dreams in a box? Isn’t that a good thing?’ ‘No’, replied the girl, ‘When ...................you have your dreams in your hands, what else is there?’ Follow the exciting adventures of Rick Mansworth-Private Dick-only at 'La Mansión del Inglés' Alone = solo/a (no aparece delante de un sustantivo.)  Lonely = solo/a (Sí puede ir delante de un sustantivo.
