Modal verbs: Repaso a las reglas básicas

Los verbos modales son una especie de «verbos auxiliares» que

acompañan al infinitivo para expresar diferentes condiciones (habilidad,

posibilidad, necesidad…). Son necesarios porque en inglés no existe un

tiempo verbal del condicional.

Para usarlos de manera correcta, hay una serie de normas básicas:

Siempre deben usarse con otro verbo, nunca solos.

Este verbo va después del modal y está en forma de infinitivo sin to.

Los verbos modales no se conjugan ni tienen tiempo.

Fácil, ¿verdad? Vamos a ver un resumen de los usos de cada verbo

modal:

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 recomendación.

Ought to: sinónimo de should.

Must: obligación, prohibición o necesidad.

Would: preferencia. También sirve para pedir o preguntar por algo de

manera educada.

BE GOING TO

Uso

Existen básicamente dos usos:

1. Utilizamos esta forma para hablar de planes o intenciones para el futuro. Ejemplo:

He previsto con mis amigos jugar futbol el próximo sábado, entonces puedo decir que la acción “jugar futbol” es un plan; por lo tanto, digo lo siguiente

en inglés:

I am going to play football with my friends on Saturday.

(Voy a jugar futbol con mis amigos el sábado)

-En conversaciones este tiempo verbal se utiliza frecuentemente para

preguntar lo que alguien tiene planeado para el futuro:

What are you going to do tomorrow?

¿Qué vas a hacer mañana?

Para contestar esta pregunta sólo también usamos “be going to”

We are going to have a party.

Vamos a hacer una fiesta.

2. También usamos esta forma para hablar de predicciones sobre el futuro

con base en lo que VEO (NO con base en lo que pienso, o lo que creo, o lo que siento). EJEMPLO:

-Si veo que las nubes están de color muy oscuro, puedo predecir (con base en lo que veo) que “va a llover”:

It is going to rain.

-Si veo que unos niños están jugando unos cuchillos de forma muy peligrosa,

puedo predecir que “se van a lastimar”:

They are going to hurt themselves.
