It begins by listing the main modal auxiliary verbs: will, would, shall, should, can, could, ought to, may, might, and must. The page also mentions other expressions that function similarly to modal verbs, such as "be supposed to," "had better," and "need."
The text explains that modal verbs are used to discuss expectations, possibilities, necessities, desires, and events that may or may not happen. It provides specific examples of how different modal verbs are used in various contexts. For instance, "must" is used to express certainty or high probability, while "can't" is used to indicate impossibility.
Example: "Emily must have a problem" expresses high certainty, while "It can't be Emily" indicates impossibility.
