» sutro_loco18 - Different ways to express "MODALITY" in english.

HI! How u doing?

Anyone of yours can help me please. I would like to know everything about modality, no focus only in Modal Verbs, I'd rather learn other new ways.

For example:

Must can express Deduction --> He must live here what else can i do with this and i need some examples for expressing certainty, deduction, obligation, permission, possibility, necessity, probability, advice, suggestion, expresing wishes, preferences with must/ (have/had) / modal verbs/ can and be able/ will/ might/ need not/ I wonder if/ verbs/ nouns/ adverbs/ (wish/It's high time/ It's about time) / "i'd rather/i'd sooner" and question tags if you know another one just let me know please.

and please don't forget to send at least 3 examples of each category.

thanks a lot.
