Question

I thought that we were saying goodbye forever, but we ___________(meet) again, many years later. Gloria ________ (iron) the clothes because Sue had already done it. Какой модальный глагол?

Answer 1

I thought that we were saying goodbye forever, but we would meet again, many years later.  

Gloria didn't have to iron the clothes because Sue had already done it.

Answer 2

Модальный глагол в первом предложении - "met", так как он используется для выражения возможности или необходимости.

Во втором предложении модального глагола нет. "Iron" является обычным глаголом, выражающим действие, которое выполняет Глория.
