Modal verbs add layers of meaning to English sentences, expressing ability, possibility, permission, obligation, and probability. Unlike regular verbs, modals don't change form for person or tense and are followed by bare infinitives (can go, must leave). Understanding modal distinctions is crucial: "must" expresses strong obligation while "should" suggests advice; "can" indicates ability or permission while "may" sounds more formal; "might" and "could" express tentative possibility. Modal perfect forms (could have gone, should have known) refer to past possibilities and regrets. Mastering modals enables precise communication of attitude, certainty level, and social relationships. These small words carry significant interpersonal weight in English interaction.
Start Arc 5 by scanning the full transcript once, then read each line out loud at a steady pace. Use punctuation as breathing markers and pause slightly on commas so your delivery stays natural instead of rushed. This Conversation lesson includes 3 exercises, so complete one full pass before you repeat difficult lines. A full round takes about 1 minute, which makes this page ideal for focused daily speaking reps. Target terms include didn't, strangely, dramatic, peaceful, anxiety.
