- ---
- modals = can, could, may, might, will, would, shall, should, ought to, had better, must
- similar expressions = be able to, be allowed to, have to, be going to
- modals: must be the first verb (so you can’t use two modals for the same verb), don’t change for tense or person, followed by base form
- similar expressions: same meaning as certain modals, but don’t follow those grammar rules
- ---
- obligation: must, have to, must not (this is the only option)
- You must arrive before 9:15. You have to take the test. You must not forget.

- You don’t have to buy the tickets. I can do it after work.
- advice: should, shouldn’t, ought to (this is the best option)
- permission: may, can, be allowed to (this is one of your options)
- no permission/prohibition: may not, can’t, [be] not allowed to (this is not one of your options)

- Common Writing Errors
- *Was raining the whole weekend.
- -> It was raining the whole weekend. (Every verb needs a subject. “it” and “there” [like “there is”] might be the subject if nothing else can be.)
- *We met many new places.
- -> We discovered / got to know many new places. (“meet” is for people)
- *The wait was worth it, the weather in Los Angeles is wonderful.
- -> ...worth it. The weather… / ...worth it because the weather… / ...worth it: the weather…
- (The error here is called a comma splice. Two independent clauses are joined with just a comma. To correct it, either separate them more with a period, colon, or semicolon, or add a conjunction.)
- - A run-on sentence is a sentence that is “too long” without having a comma between clauses.
