Graph No. 3. What kind of meaning (possibilty, ability and permission ) is used in the sentence: 
I can carry heavy loads. 
CONCLUSION 
Basically, however, the English verb system is fairly simple (more simple than most western 
European languages) but a little more complicated than most oriental languages.Each modal 
can have more than one meaning and each meaning is a member of an inter-related system.As 
Cook proposes “The problem lies not in the surface positioning of modals nor in their wide 
range of meanings, but in associating the right modal with the right meaning” (Cook, 1978). 
Generally speaking, this survey is in line with our initial hypothesis that students lack 
knowledge relative to modality, modal verb can and its meanings. Teaching modals requires a 
thorough knowledge of the modal system and how it is systematic. Even though the prospect 
of teaching modal auxiliaries is overwhelming, if you understand the modal system and its 
systematicity, then teaching modals well is accessible!
