Question 3

Auxiliary verbs

Answer 3

These include verbs like be, have, and do, which help form tenses, aspects, or voices of the main verb. They do not express necessity on their own.

Example: They HAVE eaten. (The verb ‘have’ helps form the present perfect tense)

Question 4

Modal verbs

Answer 4

These are a specific type of auxiliary verb that express attitudes such as necessity, possibility, ability, or permission.

Example: She CAN dance. (The verb ‘can’ expresses ability.)

Can, could, will would, shall, shoud etc

A modal verb and a modal auxiliary verb are the same. They both express possibility, permission, ability or permission. Modal auxiliary is just a more technical term.
