🧠 Why this video is useful:
Many ESL students are confused about:

What is the difference between modals and semi-modals?

When should I use have to instead of must?

How do I make questions and negatives with “need to” or “used to”?

What does had better really mean?

Is “would rather” a modal or something else?

Why do we say “be going to” if it doesn’t look like a verb?

What’s the difference between permission and obligation?

This video answers all those questions — with clear grammar charts, examples, and pictures to help you understand fast and remember longer.
