A little about me:
My name's Minoo, and I'm originally from Iran.
I obtained my TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) Diploma in England in 1985.
Since then, I've been an English teacher, teacher trainer, and course director in various schools and countries. I'm also a trained confidence coach.
In 2008, my son, Tom, and I set up the Anglo-Link platform for online English studies.
This led to the creation of our popular KZbin channel in 2011.
My passion is to share with you what I've learnt on my own English language journey, both as a student and as a teacher, so that you can become a fluent speaker of English too.
Join the Anglo-Link Community at app.anglo-link....
Here you will find all the support you need to reach your goal of speaking English with confidence and ease!

I've found an English teacher who is not a native speaker. Because they don't know what is really hard to understand or use grammar in my conversation at all. I've watched almost all videos about modal verbs on KZbin, unfortunately, all native English teachers failed to make it clear. However, finally I got it. The most clear and perfect explanation of modal verbs and other expressions. Thank you so much. You are the best.

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Thank you very much, Andrea! 1. 'Might I ...' for permission is possible, but rather old-fashioned. You might come across it in classics. 2. 'must have done' is an assumption for a completed action. I though I had given an example with that. 3. You can use any of those three.

My pleasure, Jemy!

[@MRSHOAIBJEE]

Hello Ma'am, You have mentioned in your video that "have to" is semi-modal verb. What do you think about these following verbs that are usually used in sentenses ? 1. Used to 2. Had better 3. Dare 4. Need 5. Will be able 6. Supposed to Are these above verbs are also semi-modal or what ? Please expedite.

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Hello Shoaib, Actually, I shouldn't have said that 'have to' is a semi-modal. It's an ordinary verb that functions like a modal. Grammar books only recognise 'dare' and 'need' as semi-modals because they can be used as a modal or an ordinary verb: I don't need / dare to do it . = I needn't / daren't do it. Therefore, the other four on your list aren't semi-modals either.
