The meaning of modal verbs in German. Modal verbs Sentences with the verb wollen

In the Russian Federation, microfinance organizations that issue loans to the population online around the clock appeared approximately in the mid-nineties of the last century.
Before the authorities adopted the Law “On Microfinance Activities and Microfinance Organizations” in 2011, the activities of these companies were not regulated. In 2015, amendments to the law came into force, based on the provisions of which, from March 29, 2017, all companies of this type were divided into 2 types: microcredit (MCC) and microfinance (MFC).
The rating of these organizations is growing every year, because the number of people wishing to receive an online loan is increasing.

Loans are cash loans that are issued via the Internet around the clock.
This type of lending is relatively new in our country, although online loans throughout Russia have already become popular among the population.

Online microloans are provided to clients for urgent needs by many financial institutions. Each of them offers its own special programs, differing in conditions, loan rates, and repayment requirements. Using our online service, anyone can get a loan without refusal by filling out an application on our website. Here is a list of available credit institutions. The catalog is constantly updated with new offers.

Information about obtaining loans online around the clock, loan terms, and repayment of the debt amount is provided to the borrower before signing the agreement.
For eliminating debt ahead of schedule, microfinance companies cannot charge a commission from a client if he informed her of his intentions in writing no earlier than ten calendar days. The conditions/procedures for lending are included in the rules of all companies that provide microfinance services. The operating rules are approved by the regulations and internal regulations of the credit company.

Interest rates on microloans are quite high compared to bank ones. The maximum interest rate that microfinance structures can charge clients is established at the legislative level.
Every quarter, the Bank of Russia provides the public with information regarding the full cost of consumer loans. Recently, he has been paying close attention to the regulation of the modern microcredit market. Organizations operating in this segment must necessarily calculate economic standards for the optimal balance of liquidity and capital.

IFC additionally provides four other standards. Companies make provisions for potential loan losses. A mandatory list of internal basic standards is being created to comply with the rules of work in the Russian market.

The verb (verb) wollen expresses a clear intention, a firm, categorical desire based on one's own will.

The conjugated modal verb stands In second place in a sentence, and the infinitive of the semantic verb is last in a sentence and is used without the particle zu.

können- be able, be able, be able (possibility due to objective circumstances)

durfen- 1) be able - dare, have permission (possibility based on “someone else’s will”) 2) when denied, expresses prohibition - “impossible”, “not allowed”

mussen- 1) obligation, necessity, need, conscious duty 2) when negated, “müssen” is often replaced by the verb “brauchen + zu Infinitiv)

sollen- 1) obligation based on “someone else’s will” - order, instruction, instruction 2) in a question (direct or indirect) is not translated (expresses “request for instructions, instructions”)

wollen- 1) want, intend, gather 2) invitation to joint action

Conjugation table for modal verbs in the past tense Präteritum

Modal verbs in the past tense are most often used in Präteritum. In other past tenses, modal verbs are practically not used.


Place of a modal verb in a simple sentence

1. The modal verb is in a simple sentence In second place.

The second place in the sentence is occupied by the conjugated part of the predicate - the auxiliary verb haben. The modal verb is used in the infinitive and follows the full verb, occupying the last place in the sentence.

Präsens: Der Arbeiter will den Meister sprechen .

Präteritum: Der Arbeiter Wollte den Meister sprechen .

Perfect: Der Arbeiter hat den Meister sprechen wollen .

Plusquamperfect: Der Arbeiter hatte den Meister sprechen wollen .

Place of a modal verb in a subordinate clause

1. Modal verb in the form of present or imperfect stands in a subordinate clause last.

2. If a modal verb is used in perfect or plusquaperfect form, then it is also worth in the infinitive form in last place. The conjugated part of the predicate - the auxiliary verb - comes before both infinitives.

Präsens besuchen kann .

Präteritum: Es ist schade, dass er uns nicht be suchen konnte.

Perfect: Es ist schade, dass er uns nicht hat besuchen können.

Plusquamperfect: Es ist schade, dass er uns nicht hatte besuchen können.

Modal verbs are a special group of verbs; they themselves do not express an action, but only express the attitude of the subject to the action.

Therefore, a modal verb cannot be alone in a sentence; it always needs a friend - a semantic verb, which is always used in the infinitive. And together they form a complex verbal predicate.

Intrigued? Let's dig into these special verbs. Meet:

können

können expresses skill or physical ability. Translated as “to be able to”

Ich kann diesels Problem lösen. – I can (capable) solve this problem.

Wer kann mir das erklären?– Who can explain this to me?

durfen

durfen expresses permission or prohibition. Translated as “be able, have permission, right”

Darf ich mein Platz nehmen?– May I take my seat?

mussen

mussen expresses the need to perform this or that action under the influence of internal pressure (that is, we ourselves realize that it is necessary to do this), translated as “to be obliged, to be forced”

Ich muss die Eltern besuchen.– I have to visit my parents.

Ich muss sparen.- I have to save money.

Ich muss um 8.30 Uhr im Büro sein. – I need to be in the office at 8:30. (I realize this myself)

sollen

Ihr sollt die Arbeit heute abgeben!– You must submit your work today!

wollen

mögen

1. It is also used to express an assumption.

Sie mag krank sein.- She may be sick.

Was mag das bedeuten?– What could this mean?

2. In the meaning of “to love, to like” it has almost ceased to be modal and is used independently

Ich mag Eis. - I like ice cream.

möchten (verb mögen in the Konjunktiv II subjunctive mood), in contrast to the modal verb wollen, which expresses a firm desire, expresses a desire, a polite request, and is used independently without another verb.

Ich möchte eine Tasse Tee trinken.– I would like to have a cup of tea.

Modal verbs. Order of words in a sentence

In an affirmative sentence, the modal verb is in second place, and the semantic verb is at the end of the sentence.

In an interrogative sentence without a question word, the modal verb comes first, the semantic verb at the end of the sentence.

Kanst du Deutsch sprechen?

In an interrogative sentence with a question word, the modal verb is in second place, the semantic verb at the end of the sentence.

Was kannst du mir zeigen?

Modal verbs. Präsens (present)

Note:

1. During conjugation, the umlaut disappears or the vowel changes altogether (compare machen - er macht, durfen – er darf)

2. Unlike ordinary verbs, no ending is added in the 1st person “-e”, in the 3rd person the ending “-” is not added t"(compare er macht And er soll)

There is only one conclusion - the conjugation of these verbs must be learned and thoroughly practiced.
