Modals are used with the base from of the verb
to given extra meaning to the sentence. In
Physics modal is frequently used, especially
when we discuse about possibility or presiction.
Group 1 Group 2

Can Will

May Should

Might Must

Could Have to
The modals in group 1 are frequently used to
make statements of possibility and
probability.

Can, May, And Could + Verb Base

Example :
You break your leg if you jump from three story building: (the
level of probability is approximately 98-100%).
You can break your leg if you jump from three story building:
(the level of probability is approximately 40-70%).
You may break your leg if you jump from three story building:
(the level of probability is approximately 20-40%).
You may/might break your leg if you jump from three story
building: (the level of probability is approximately 2-20%).
You cannot break your leg if you jump from three story
building: (the level of probability is approximately 0-2%)
 To Express certainty (or to say that
something is certainly true or untrue), we
use will, should, must, have to.

1. For Present and future situation, we use:

Will, Should, Must, Have to + Verb Base

 Will is used when the speaker means that
something is certainly true, even though we
cannot see that it is true.

Example :
1. We all will die
2. According to Newtons first law when a
body at rest it will remain at rest unlest
there is a net force acts on the body.
 Must is used when the speaker sees
something as necessarily and logically true.
Cant is used when the speaker sees it as
logically impossible for something to be true.

Example :
1. The magnetic pole must attract the particle
since they made of iron.
2. The device must also attract the glass.
3. A car cant move if there is no friction
force.
 2. Continuation of the action

Will, Must, and Cant + be + V_Ing

Example :
1. In general, if our standard body of 1 kg mass has an
acceleration a, we know that the force F must be acting
on it.
2. The ball cant be moving. It must be at rest because
theres no force acting on it.
 3. For a perfect situation, we use:

Will, Must, and Cant + have + PII

Example :
1. The Experiment will have been conducted by now
2. The ball is moving, Some one must have kicked it.
3. Newtonian mechanics cant have worked in that case. The
interacting bodies were on the scale of atomic structure.
