my quiestion----what or how common is the use of the modal and semi modal verbs in dayly conversation?

[@comprehensively_english]

Very common. Actually, it's hard to imagine a conversation in which no modals or semi-modals would be used.

Hello dear

[@meriemabbou2636]

What about have to ?? Is it a semi model verb too ??

[@comprehensively_english]

'Have to' is a periphrastic modal, or a phrasal modal. There's another video on my channel about these modals: th-cam.com/video/6jESqvCX7Fs/w-d-xo.html
