Search the forum,
The English modal verbs are a subset of the English auxiliary verbs used mostly to express modality (properties such as possibility, obligation, etc.). They can be distinguished from other verbs by their defectiveness (they do not have participle or infinitive forms) and by their neutralization (that they do not take the ending -(e)s in the third-person singular).
The principal English modal verbs are can, could, may, might, shall, should, will, would, and must. Certain other verbs are sometimes, but not always, classed as modals; these include ought, had better, and (in certain uses) dare and need. Verbs which share only some of the characteristics of the principal modals are sometimes called "quasi-modals", "semi-modals", or "pseudo-modals".

    Looks like it could be a leaky one

    I've recently had a shower cubicle tiled, by a bit of a jack of all trades builder, and am already concerned it's at risk of leaking. The tiles have yet to be grouted and it appears that the adhesive has only been dabbed on, resulting in voids at the corners where you can see all the way back...
