A modal marker is a linguistic element, often a word or phrase, that expresses a speaker's attitude towards the likelihood, necessity, or obligation of an action or event. Common examples include modal verbs like "can," "must," "should," and "might." These markers help convey nuances of meaning related to possibility, ability, permission, or necessity in communication. In addition to verbs, modal markers can also appear in adverbs or phrases that indicate modality.
