Students should keep in mind the following errors to be avoided while using compound words:
· Do not forget to use hyphen, wherever needed. Similarly, don't use hyphens when it's not needed. For example: She is a well-known actor; The book is well known.
· Writing open compound words, as one word. For example: This coffeeshop (instead it should be coffee shop) is opne 24*7.
· Writing closed compound words as open ones. For example: Have you finished your home work? (instead it should be homework)

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.
