ABSTRACT
We often use modal auxiliaries in the sentence. Generally, modal auxiliary can be defined as a part of the verb expressing speaker’s intention or attitude of the circumstance. It is closely related to attitude, opinion, subjectivity of the speaker and non-factuality. Through this analysis, we can draw a conclusion about the usage of effective and systematic modal auxiliary verbs.
KEYWORDS
mood, modality, modal auxiliary, speaker’s intention, attitude of the circumstance.
