Can could and do. CAN: We use 'can' to talk about 'possibility' Can you do that? I can't manage to do that. You can leave your car in that parking space. You cannot smoke in here. We use 'can' to talk about 'ability'. I can speak english. I can play soccer.
We use 'can' to ask for and give permission. (We also use 'may' for this but is more formal and much less common.)

COULD: 'Could' can be used to talk about the past, the present or the future. 'Could' is a past form of 'can' When I was living in Boston, I could walk to work. He phoned to say he couldn't come. I could see him clearly but I couldn't hear him and then the videoconference line went dead. 'Could' is used to make polite requests. We can also use 'can' for these but 'could' is more polite. Could you help me, please? Could you lend me some money? Could I have a lift? Could I bother you for a moment? 'Could' is used to talk about theoretical possibility and is similar in meaning to 'might'. It could rain later. Take an umbrella. He could be there by now. Could he be any happier?

HAVE: Have is one of the most common verbs in the English language. It functions in various ways. To have as a main verb As a main verb “to have” implies the meaning of possession. For example: “I have a job.” “I have a car.“ "I don't have any time." When it is used to indicate possession you can say "I have..." or you might see/ hear "I have got...". When you are talking about actions, you only use "have". PAST PERFECT: I had never seen such a beautiful beach before I went to Kauai. I did not have any money because I had lost my wallet. Tony knew Istanbul so well because he had visited the city several times. Had Susan ever studied Thai before she moved to Thailand? She only understood the movie because she had read the book. Kristine had never been to an opera before last night. We were not able to get a hotel room because we had not booked in advance. A: Had you ever visited the U.S. before your trip in 2006? B: Yes, I had been to the U.S. once before. HAS: as is the present tense form of the verb have and is used with third person singular. Has done is the present perfect of do in the third person singular. HAVING: i having my class at seven pm:
May:
We can use 'may' to ask for permission. However this is rather formal and not used very often in modern spoken English
May I borrow your pen? May we think about it? May I go now?
We use 'may' to suggest something is possible It may rain later today. I may not have time to do it today. Pete may come with us might We use 'might' to suggest a small possibility of something. Often we read that 'might' suggests a smaller possibility that 'may', there is in fact little difference and 'might is more usual than 'may' in spoken English. She might be at home by now but it's not sure at all. It might rain this afternoon. I might not have time to go to the shops for you. I might not go. For the past, we use 'might have'. He might have tried to call while I was out. I might have dropped it in the street.
Might: "Might" is most commonly used to express possibility. It is also often used in conditional sentences. English speakers can also use "might" to make suggestions or requests, although this is less common in American English.
Examples: Your purse might be in the living room. possibility If I didn't have to work, I might go with you. conditional You might visit the botanical gardens during your visit. suggestion Might I borrow your pen?
Must: "Must" is most commonly used to express certainty. It can also be used to express necessity or strong recommendation, although native speakers prefer the more flexible form "have to." "Must not" can be used to prohibit actions, but this sounds very severe; speakers prefer to use softer modal verbs such as "should not" or "ought not" to dissuade rather than prohibit. Examples: This must be the right address! certainty Students must pass an entrance examination to study at this school. necessity You must take some medicine for that cough. strong recommendation
Shall: is used to indicate future action. It is most commonly used in sentences with "I" or "we," and is often found in suggestions, such as "Shall we go?" "Shall" is also frequently used in promises or voluntary actions. In formal English, the use of "shall" to describe future events often expresses inevitability or predestination. "Shall" is much more commonly heard in British English than in American English; Americans prefer to use other forms, although they do sometimes use "shall" in suggestions or formalized language. Examples: Shall I help you? suggestion I shall never forget where I came from. promise He shall become our next king. predestination I'm afraid Mr. Smith shall become our new director. inevitability Should Should is an auxiliary verb, a modal auxiliary verb. We use should mainly to: give advice or make recommendations talk about obligation talk about probability and expectation express the conditional mood replace a subjunctive structure
Structure of Should subject + should + main verb: Will: One of the most common ways to talk about the future is with will, for example: I will call you tonight. We often call this the "future simple tense", but technically there are no future tenses in English. In this construction, the word will is a modal auxiliary verb. Here are the three main ways that we use will to talk about the future. No plan
We use will when there is no prior plan or decision to do something before we speak. We make the decision at the time of speaking. Look at these examples:
Hold on. I'll get a pen. We will see what we can do to help you. Maybe we'll stay in and watch television tonight. In these examples, we had no firm plan before speaking. The decision was made at the time of speaking.
We often use will with the verb think:
I think I'll go to the gym tomorrow. I think I'll have a holiday next year. I don't think I'll buy that car. Prediction We often use will to make a prediction about the future. Again, there is no firm plan. We are saying what we think will happen. Here are some examples: It will rain tomorrow. People won't go to Jupiter before the 22nd century. Who do you think will get the job?
