They are auxiliary verbs, but do not act like common verbs so;

6. Would

# data[].attributes.body
As you can see, the structure is simple, the only thing that can change is the modal.

# data[].attributes.body

Indicates an obligation or recommendation.

# data[].attributes.body
Like the simple present structure the only thing what you must do is add NOT after the modal.

# data[].attributes.body
To make question with modals, the only thing we do is write the modal at the beginning.

Example:

SHOULD I go to the park?

Here you have a table where you can see what modal is the most certain and the less one.

# data[].attributes.body
As you can see modals are easy, the only thing you have to keep in mind is what type of modal you are going to use depending on the situation.

# data[].attributes.body
Please add one example of modal verb; it could be possitive, negative or question.

# data[].attributes.body
