won't

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".

    Water valve won't budge

    Basically, there are leaks going on in my house, but I can't turn the water valve off, it won't budge. I think it rusted. How much would it cost to hire a plumber to replace the valve? How long would it take? Any tips for helping me fix it by myself? Why is it rusted?

    How appliances deal with dirt in the water

    Hi folks, I'm led to believe that water in a normal gravity fed system can contain impurities or, basically, can be dirty. I'm just wondering how appliances deal with this.
