  • These are a sub-set of the preterite-present verbs, which can be used to tell a speaker's attitude towards what he's saying. They are used with the bare infinitive of the verb, as in English, German, Dutch, and other Germanic languages. * Modals: * durren - to dare to * kunnen - to know how to, be able to, can * magen - to be able to, can * moten - to have permission to, may, can * scullen - to be obligated to, ought, shall * þurfen - to need to * willen - to want to You can see these verbs have a slightly different meaning from other Germanic languages, retaining their original meanings more clearly. This can be shown using an example: * Þu most Kwidden wreiten - you can write sentences (you have permission to write sentences) * Þu magst Kwidden wreiten - you can write sentences (you have the ability to write sentences) * Þu kannst Kwidden wreiten - you can write sentences (you know how to write sentences) In Englisc, magen is the closest to the modern English "can, be able to" for translations.
