Instructions
Mark if these verbs are normal or special (= modals and auxiliaries) by clicking on the right option.
SPECIAL VERBS 
They can build all the constructions of the English language. NORMAL VERBS They can only make affirmative sentences in the present or imperative. For everything else, they need the special verb DO or another auxiliary.
Example:
special:
I can dance
I can't dance
Can you dance?
normal:
I love you
I don't love you
Do you love me?
There are only 13 special verbs, all the rest are normal verbs. The special verbs are:
auxiliaries: to be, have, do
modals: can/could, will/would, shall/should, may/might, must, ought to
Some special verbs (the three auxiliaries) have variations for the past, 3rd person, etc: (to be:) am, are, is, was, were / (have:) have, has, had / (do:) do, does, did, done
Be careful with these verbs: Do, Have (special) & To do, To have (normal)
special (they don't mean anything, they only have a function):
- I don't live in London
- I have lived in Madrid
normal (the have a meaning):
- I do yoga in the morning
- I have a dog
