What are Modal Verbs?

Modal verbs are weird verbs because they don't follow the regular rules - they're rebels and outlaws! As such, we refer to them as "auxiliary verbs" because they need another verb to latch onto for meaning. They always express a hypothetical.

It's the difference between

Examples include:
* I go to the library on Tuesdays.
* I can go to the library on Tuesdays.
* I could go to the library on Tuesdays.

The first indicates you actively go to the library on Tuesdays, while the second indicates your ability to go without a definite. The third shows the possibility of you being able to go. Can and Could are modals.

You don't - you use them as-is. They don't have a specific ending and don't function in an infinitive form, but can alter the meaning of a sentence significantly. However, they ALWAYS need another verb and, as such, are often considered to be helping verbs.

It sounds more confusing than it actually is once you see what the verbs are. The chart below shows them in terms of the certainty they express. Either it shows the verb will definitely happen, or they indicate some degree of uncertainty.

DEFINITE

INDEFINITE

can

could

must

may, might

shall

should, ought

will

would

There are several ways to use modal verbs depending on the meaning you wish to convey. Each modal can have multiple meanings depending on how it's used in a sentence. Here are some examples of the different meanings of each of the major modal verbs.

Using modals depends on the tense and the amount of certainty you wish to convey. With practice, you'll get the hang of using these oddball verbs.

Subordinating Conjunctions

What Are Subordinating Conjunctions?

Subordinating conjunctions show up when you need to join dependent and independent clauses. They're most commonly used when you want to demonstrate cause and effect or other relationships.

What are some examples?

There are lots of subordinating conjunctions as you can see by the list below. But the most commonly used are:

Commonly Used Subordinating Conjunctions

Other subordinating conjunctions include, but aren't limited to: as far as, as if, as long as, as soon as, as though, assuming that, even if, even though, when, where, wherever, even though, every time, if, in case, in case that, in order that, now that, lest, once, only if, provided that, rather, rather than, so, so that, than, unless, until, whatever, where, whether, when, whenever, which, whichever, who, whoever, whom, whomever, & whose.

Often you can think of subordinating conjunctions in terms of groups based on the information that they help to provide. Take a look at this chart:

Can an adverb be a conjunction?

Yes! Several of the words above can be adverbs as well, but serve as subordinating conjunctions when they link two thoughts.

Here's an example:
I thought the wallaby was a weird marsupial until I saw the platypus.

The independent clause: I thought the wallaby was a weird marsupial.
The dependent clause: Until I saw the platypus

The dependent clause cannot stand by itself as a sentence, but using the subordinating conjunction until enables the two clauses to be linked together for a complete thought.

QUICK TIP!

The subordinating conjunction must always stay with the dependent clause in the sentence, and uses a comma when it starts the sentence.

For example,:
Until I saw the platypus, I thought the wallaby was a weird marsupial.
After we went to the zoo, my sister became obsessed with animals.
