Modal verbs are used in order to express some ideas such as possibility, permission or prohibition. In a sentence, they are located BEFORE the main verb (infinitive). Some examples are:
"Bake the cake quickly! Mary could be here before 2 o'clock"
"Mr Heisenberg can make blue acid because he is a chemist"
"You mustn't smoke at school. It is forbidden"
"It's a bit cloudy, it may rain tomorrow"
Here you have a simple way to understand modal verbs. You can download and print the PDF with the "tree" for you to study it:
