MODAL VERBS Modal verbs are a kind of "auxiliary verbs" that accompany infinity for different conditions (ability, possibility, need ...). They are necessary because in English there is no verbal tense of the conditional.   To use them correctly, there are a series of basic rules:   They should always be used with another verb, never alone. This is the infinitive mode without. Modal verbs do not conjugate or have time.   Easy, right? Let's see a summary of the uses of each modal verb Can : indica habilidad o posibilidad (como "poder" en español). Could : posibilidad o habilidad en el pasado. También para pedir permiso de manera formal (en frases interrogativas). May : posibilidad en el futuro, permisos o instrucciones. Might : posibilidad en el presente o el futuro. Will : voluntad o determinación (vamos a hacer X cosa). Shall : igual que  will , pero más educado y más común en el Reino Unido. Should : obligación o recomend

Reflexive Pronouns The reflexive pronouns are:  We use a reflexive pronoun: When we use a reflexive pronoun  as a  direct object  when the  object  is the  same  as the  subject  of the verb: I  am teaching  myself  to play the piano. Be careful with that knife.  You  might cut  yourself . We can use a reflexive pronoun as direct object with most transitive verbs, but these are the most common: amuse blame cut dry enjoy help hurt introduce kill prepare satisfy teach Some verbs  change their meaning  slightly when they have a reflexive pronoun as direct object: Would you like to help yourself to another drink? =  Would you like to take another drink . I wish the children would behave themselves.  =  I wish the children would behave well . He found himself lying by the side of the road. =  He was surprised when he realised that he was at the side of the road We do  not  use a reflexive pronoun after verbs which describe things people  usually  do
