Pengertian Phrasal Modal Verb
Phrasal modal verb adalah modal yang biasanya dimulai dengan to be atau have dengan/tanpa diakhiri dengan to.
Modal sendiri merupakan kata yang muncul sebelum main verb untuk memodifikasi makna dari main verb tersebut dimana kata-kata seperti can, could, wil, would, may, dan might disebut one-word atau single modal. Seperti one-word modal, phrasal modal juga diikuti bare infinitive (kata kerja bentuk dasar). Phrasal modal verb antara lain be supposed to, be to, be able to, be going to, have to, have got to, ought to, used to, had better, would rather, would prefer, dan would like to.
