Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I ____________ go shopping tomorrow.
A) Am
B) may
C) Want
D) Think

Answer 1

Hint:Modal verb is an auxiliary verb that expresses the necessity or possibility, or it is a type of verb that is used to indicate modality. For example: must, shall, will, should, would, could etc.

Complete answer:
Option A) Am – is an incorrect answer because ‘am’ is the first-person singular of the present tense of be. Thus, the use of ‘am’ is totally incorrect usage ‘I am going shopping tomorrow’ and this sentence does not make any sense. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) may – is the correct answer because ‘may’ is a modal verb and is the correct usage in the sentence because it explains that something is possible, and here the possibility is that I go shopping tomorrow. Thus, may is the correct answer as it gives the sense in the sentence. Thus, this is the correct answer.
Option C) Want – is an incorrect answer because ‘want’ is used to imply the wish or desire for something and here ‘to’ is also missing thus, the use of ‘want’ is inappropriate in the sentence. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option D) Think – is an incorrect answer because ‘think’ is used to imply the idea or opinion about something or somebody or to believe in something. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.

Hence, the correct answer is Option ‘ B’.

Note:In nutshell, the modal verb should go in the blank to make complete sense or meaning in the sentence. Thus, option b ‘may’ is the most appropriate answer as compared to any other option.
