Modal Verbs for requests


What are modal verbs?

They are a type of auxiliary verb we use with other verbs to add more meaning to the verb. After modal verbs we use the infinitive form without to.
Modals are not used with the auxiliary verb do; to form the negative, we addnot after the modal. To ask questions, we put the modal in front of the subject.

We use the modal verbs can and could  to offer to do things for people or to invite them to do something. We also use them to make requests or ask permission to do something.
