modality application
Modality application refers to the use of different expressions or structures to convey degrees of certainty, possibility, necessity, or obligation in language. In general knowledge, it helps articulate how likely something is to happen or how necessary it is to act in a certain way. For example, saying "It might rain" shows possibility, while "You should study" expresses obligation. Understanding modality enhances communication by clarifying intentions and attitudes toward events or actions, allowing nuanced discussions about certainty and choice.
