Modal Verbs 🔒

This 9-question quiz works on English modal verbs like can, must, might, and should.

Helpfully, each sentence tells you the meaning it is looking for in brackets, so a prompt like The students ___ study tonight for their exam tomorrow. is marked as obligation, while another is marked as possibility.

What makes modals interesting is how a small word completely changes the message, since saying you can do something is very different from saying you might or you must.

The clues in brackets make it a friendly place to start if modals still feel slippery.

Recommended level: beginner to intermediate.
