Modal Verbs Exercises For Spanish Grammar

Modal verbs in Spanish grammar, also known as verbos modales, are words that change slightly the meaning of the main verb they accompany in a sentence. These verbs, which include “deber”, “poder”, “querer”, and “saber”, among others, add a touch of necessity, potential, desire or knowledge to the action being expressed. As in English, Spanish modal verbs are used to indicate likelihood, ability, necessity, and permission. Mastery of these verbs can enhance vocabulary and expression in the language and practicing their use in sentences is highly beneficial for students.

Focused students use laptops under desk lamps for learning languages in a dark library filled with bookshelves.
