Introduction to Modal Verbs[edit | edit source]

Modal verbs are a unique category of verbs that express necessity, ability, permission, or possibility. In German, they are integral to constructing sentences that convey obligations. Two primary modal verbs that we will focus on in this lesson are:

müssen (must)

sollen (should)

These verbs allow you to communicate what you have to do or what you should do. Understanding how to use them will not only improve your grammatical skills but also enhance your ability to engage in meaningful conversations.

Key Modal Verbs for Obligations[edit | edit source]

Let’s take a closer look at our two main modal verbs for obligations:

1. Müssen (Must)[edit | edit source]

The verb müssen is used to express strong obligations or necessities. It implies that something is required or unavoidable.

Conjugation of Müssen:

Ich muss (I must)

Du musst (You must - singular, informal)

Er/Sie/Es muss (He/She/It must)

Wir müssen (We must)

Ihr müsst (You must - plural, informal)

Sie müssen (They must / You must - formal)

2. Sollen (Should)[edit | edit source]

The verb sollen is generally used to express recommendations or expectations. It suggests that something should be done, but it’s usually less compelling than müssen.

Conjugation of Sollen:

Ich soll (I should)

Du sollst (You should - singular, informal)

Er/Sie/Es soll (He/She/It should)

Wir sollen (We should)

Ihr sollt (You should - plural, informal)

Sie sollen (They should / You should - formal)

Examples of Usage[edit | edit source]

Now, let’s illustrate the use of both müssen and sollen through various examples. Below are tables that show German sentences alongside their pronunciation and English translations.
