Los verbos modales son un área compleja de la Gramática Inglesa. La principal función de los verbos modales es permitir que el hablante o el escritor den su opinión, expresen su actitud o propongan algo. Estas actitudes pueden cubrir un amplio rango de posibilidades que incluyen obligación, pedir o dar permiso, desaprobación, aconsejar, deducción lógica, habilidad, posibilidad, necesidad, ausencia de necesidad, etc. El problema con los verbos modales es que pueden tener más de un significado, y la interpretación de un modal en particular dependerá más en el contexto en el cual se utiliza.
