Теоретичний аспект модальних дієслів у сучасній англійській мові

Abstract

In this Paper, we have explored the theoretical aspects of modal verbs in Modern English. We began by defining modal verbs and discussing their characteristics and conjugation. We then examined the semantics and pragmatics of modal verbs and their applications in everyday language, academic writing, and literature and media. Finally, we explored the challenges and controversies surrounding modal verbs, including their ambiguity and vagueness, overuse and misuse, and controversies surrounding their teaching. The implications of our research are significant for English language learners, teachers, and researchers. Understanding the nuances of modal verbs is essential for effective communication in English, particularly in academic and professional settings. Our research highlights the challenges and controversies surrounding modal verbs, which should be taken into consideration when teaching and learning English.
