Description
About the author

This textbook is a practical guide to the use of modal verbs and forms denoting unreal actions (in other words, indirect forms) in modern English. These sections of English grammar are extremely important both for practical mastery of the spoken language and for understanding literature (fiction, scientific prose, and journalism). And it is these sections that are known to be particularly difficult for English language learners. The manual is intended for teachers of English, students of teacher training courses, higher pedagogical courses, graduate students of special institutes or faculties of foreign languages. It can also be used selectively when working with students of language universities. Since the proposed manual is intended for readers specializing in English, it aims to provide the most complete description of modal verbs and forms of expressing unreal actions. In doing so, the manual includes mainly phenomena typical of modern English.
