MODAL VERBS When you talk about things you want
to do, can /are able to do, and must/have to do
you are using modal verbs. These are almost
always followed by an infinitive. The infinitive
is the form of the verb that ends in -er, -ir or
-re eg je veux I want to je peux I can,
am able to je dois I must/have to. il faut
- it is necessary to Guide pages 35 62
