Let us learn the following today:
1.Potential – May, can
2.Prohibitive,- should not, must not
3.Permissive- let someone to do something
Please use all the verb charts posted here so far. At the bottom, we have these three impersonal verbs.
This means there is no personal ending (forget PGN for the time being)
