Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement: Modal verbs have only one form. They have no -ing or -ed forms and do not add -s to the 3 person singular form.
Statement II: Modal verbs are followed by past participle form of the other verbs.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
• B. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
• C. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
• D. Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

• Assertion I: Correct. Modal verbs (e.g., can, may, should) maintain a consistent form across tenses, lacking -ing or -ed variations, and do not add -s in the third-person singular.
• Assertion II: Incorrect. Modal verbs are followed by the verb's base form, not its past participle. For instance, "She can go," rather than "She can went."
