MODAL VERBS are auxiliary verbs which behave very differently from normal verbs. Here are some important differences that you must always bear in mind:
1. Modal verbs do not take “-s” in the third person. (He can speak Chinese)
2. You use “not” to make modal verbs negative, even in Simple Present and Simple Past. (He should not be late)
3. Many modal verbs cannot be used in the past tenses or the future tenses. (He will can go with us. Not Correct)
The most common Modal Verbs are the following: can, could, may, might, must, ought to, shall, should, will and would. Now you are doing some exercises to practise them. Pay special attention to the modal verbs to express ability, obligation and possibility. If you need more information about modal verbs have a look at Verbos modales ~ English Modal Verbs (in Spanish) or listen to this video lesson.

A REFLEXIVE PRONOUN is a special kind of pronoun. It is usually used when the object of a sentence is the same as the subject, as you will see below. Each personal pronoun (such as I, you, and she) has its own reflexive form.

REFLEXIVE PRONOUN |

Reflexive pronouns are used in three main situations. Read them carefully and do the exercises you have:
- When the subject and object are the same (I hurt myself)
- As the object of a preposition, when the subject and the object are the same (That man is talking to himself)
- When you want to emphasize the subject (I’ll do it myself)
