MODAL VERBS

 

Greetings, language enthusiasts!

Did you know that modal verbs can affect our lives in unexpected ways? For instance, if you use "should" too often, you might become known as the office busybody, always telling people what they should or shouldn't do. On the other hand, if you use "could" too often, you might come across as indecisive or wishy-washy. While modal verbs may seem like small and insignificant words, they can have a big impact on how we communicate and how we are perceived by others. So choose your modals wisely.
