| Abstract | ||
| Modal auxiliaries, among all other auxiliaries in English (be, have, do) are considered the most auxiliaries that cause difficulties to most Iraqi students learning English as a foreign language. The aim of this paper is to shed light on the syntactic and semantic use of modal auxiliaries, namely will / would, can /could, shall /should, must, may /might and ought. The researchers have tried to pinpoint the mistakes that the students make in using the above – mentioned auxiliaries, and find the proper methods that help them to improve their performance. | ||
