Modals Can be Tricky

You are not alone if you feel puzzled

Misinterpreting

The nuances of English modals often lead to misunderstandings. Do I have to use “should” or “would”? Such issues make you second-guess every sentence. It’s not just about grammar; it’s about the message you’re trying to convey.

Clarity issues

Differences between “may” and “might” or “can” and “could” can silence even some advanced learners. Many learners feel stuck when it comes to modals because they are afraid of making mistakes and not being taken seriously.

Real conversations

Even when you know the rules, applying modal verbs in live conversations is a different game. The pressure of thinking fast can make your mind go blank, stealing the confidence in dialogues.

Slow progress

Despite hours of studying examples of modal verbs, the progress seems slow. This pace can be discouraging, making you wonder if you'll ever master modal verbs.
