En clase explicamos algunos verbos modales.
Características generales de los verbos modales:
- Son verbos que no tienen un significado, sino que aportan una variación a la acción del verbo principal (por eso, siempre van acompañados de otros verbos)
- Son verbos invariables, (no añaden -s en 3ª persona del sing.)
- Son verbos auxiliares (no necesitan do para negar e interrogar)
- No tienen tiempo verbal (tan sólo el verbo can tiene forma pasada, could)
