Modals Exercises For Turkish Grammar

Chase language achievements with grammar exercisesย 

Modals in Turkish grammar are used to express necessity, possibility, ability or permission. Similar to their English counterparts, these modals are followed by verbs. However, unlike in English where modal verbs are separate words, in Turkish, modal verbs are often added onto verbs as suffixes. Becoming familiar with these modals and their usage is integral to mastering the Turkish language, as they allow for more nuanced expressions.
