Modal verbs: He can 'do' or 'does'? | English Grammar Lesson | Speak English confidently (EZEE #3)

Hello everyone. This is Minoo at Anglo-Link.

Welcome to Lesson 3 in my EZEE series.

As you know by now, my goal in this series is to make you curious about common mistakes

and give you the tools that you need to correct your own mistakes.

I must insist again that you must never feel embarrassed or apologise

when you make a language mistake.

Mistakes are a natural part of the learning process

and shame has no part in a learning journey.

The more you can become curious about why certain mistakes are so common

and how to correct them yourself,

the more confident and relaxed you will become.

And these good feelings will naturally accelerate your progress.

Okay! In this lesson, I'd like to deal with a question that

I have been asked many times, and the question is:

Should we put the third person singular 's' on the verb after a modal verb?

For example should we say

'he can does'.

Alright, let's find out the answer first and then do some exercises

to make sure there is no more confusion about this.

Okay! That's the end of Lesson 3.

If you have been confused about this point for some time,

please make sure you repeat the exercises until you have built a fast reflex

whether you need an 's' or not.

If you feel you often make mistakes with modal verbs

and want  to review both the formulation and the usage of these verbs,

please watch my lesson called 'All Modals'.

I hope this lesson has been helpful to you.
