Modal verbs are placed right before the base form of the main verb in a sentence and help express possibility, ability, or necessity. Note that the main verbs used after the modal verbs do not take '-s', '-es', or '-ing' at the end of the verb.
Examples:
- She can sing beautifully.
- It might rain later today.
- He should apologize for his bad behavior.
- You must complete your work before the deadline.
