grammar pedant here: no, it's a modal auxillary verb.

An easy way of learning most of them: could, would, should...THEY RHYME.

may, might, must ALL BEGIN WITH 'M'.

Others include semi-modals; ought, need, have to etc but that's enough for now.

Quite possibly, modals & prepositions are the most confusing language items for non-native speakers to understand so make a point of getting to grips with them. The rest will fall into place if you can do modals & prepositions.

A verb will not always be the simple predicate, and simple predicates will not always be 1 word.
