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".

    Additional PRV

    Hi there, just looking for a bit of confirmation. I've got a Combi with a PRV letting by. It's not the easiest position to replace so I'm thinking I'll just add an additional one on the PRV pipe work. Apart from making sure that it's set to the same max pressure is the one inside the boiler I...

    Mystery Tap Won't Stop Dripping

    Hi everyone, and apologies for such a basic question, but my bathroom hot tap is dripping and what is obviously a fairly easy fix (change of washers) has become a complete nightmare because I cannot find any of the washers I need to match to the existing in any shop - nor a single image of my...

    Slotted pop-up 'click clack' waste won't stay down

    There seems to be a lot online about how unreliable these sprung loaded mechanisms are. I've one of these and it's refusing to click down. I'm not a plumber but I've got it out in the hope of repairing it. The screw just seems to hold in the moving part and tightening it doesn't seem to make...

    Running washing machine waste - long "trap"

    I have some routing issues with my grey waste - I have to get over or under another appliance. I don't want to go up, as the washer will back-fill. I was wondering about the possibility of installing the usual pipe down to floor level (for reasons I won't go into I can run a 40mm pipe along...

    Boiler won't switch on

    Hi. I have a Worcester combi boiler that won't switch on. I tried to install a new thermostat but couldn't get it to work. Ever since then I seem to have no power to the boiler.

    Bleed Valve Keys Won't Fit On Older Rads (Inc. Pictures)

    Just a quick one. I have two different bleed keys (see photo), and neither will fit on the bleed valves of some older rads. I'm not 100 per cent sure, but I think they may fit on the square screw that turns, but it's the circular collar around the screw that's stopping the key sliding over the...
