Modality in grammar refers to the speaker's attitude or certainty towards a statement. It can indicate possibility, necessity, ability, or permission. Modal verbs such as "can," "could," "may," "might," "must," "shall," "should," "will," and "would" are commonly used to express modality.
In functional grammar, a modal adjunct is an adverbial phrase that provides additional information about the modality of a sentence. It typically indicates the speaker's attitude towards the action or situation described in the sentence, such as possibility, necessity, or obligation. Modal adjuncts can include words like "perhaps," "certainly," "probably," "necessarily," and "undoubtedly."
No, "of course" is not a "modality word." It is an adverbial phrase used to express something that is obvious or widely accepted. "Modality words" refer to words that express certainty, possibility, necessity, permission, or ability.
No, "will be had" is not a correct grammar. The correct grammar would be "will have."
The word grammar is a noun.
Most of the grammar is taught in grammar school. China has highest grammar schools in the world.
