The sentence structure in the English language may sound complicated at first but rest assured that you will be able to follow this book easily and finish it with flying colors ! The book begins by explaining how to use the modal verb ' can ' to say that you are allowed or able to do something. We show you how to combine 'can' and an infinitive verb and ' be ' with ' able to '. We also lay out the past and negative forms of ' can ' and ' could '. The book then teaches you how to use specific verbs to discuss the past in English. You will also learn how to use ' may' or ' might ' ( and their negative forms) to say something is possible or impossible in the future. We then cover 'instead' , 'going to' and the combination of ' may / might ' and ' have to'. We explain how you can use ' could ' instead of ' may ' and ' might ' in the positive, but not in the negative. The book shows you how to use ' must ' , ' must not ' and ' don't have to ' , followed by ' have got to ', ' should not ', ' ought ', ' would ', ' would have ' and ' will '.
