What is Arabic Modal Verbs Explained about?

Standard Arabic uses phrases beginning with ‫ يٍ انـ‬to express modality similar to English modal verbs like "can," "may," "should," etc. Some common Arabic modal phrases include ‫ ٚجة أ‬for "should" and ‫ يٍ انًًكٍ أ‬for "may." Egyptian Arabic also uses modal verbs but without the ‫ يٍ انـ‬prefix. Both varieties accomplish shifts in tense and negation. While the structures differ from English, Arabic conveys similar meanings of possibility, necessity and other modalities.
