Test: Modals - 1 - Question 10
Save

Direction: Fill in the blanks with the correct modals.

I ______ to take a holiday tomorrow.

Detailed Solution: Question 10

Here are explanations for the options in that context:

  • "might" (modal) is followed by the base verb without "to," so "might to take" is incorrect.
  • "could" (modal) is the same; "could to take" is incorrect.
  • "must" (modal) also does not take "to"; "must to take" is incorrect.
  • "need" can function either as a modal (without "to") or as a regular verb (with "to"). When used as a regular verb, it is followed by "to" + infinitive: "I need to take a holiday."

So, if the sentence explicitly includes "to" after the blank, only "need" is grammatically correct:
"I need to take a holiday tomorrow."
Thus, the presence of "to" after the blank indicates the correct answer is "need" (d).
