Linguo Modal Verbs

In Linguo, modal verbs are used to indicate mood. The verb(s) modified by a modal verb is(are) always in the infinitive tense, which is formed by adding -oer to the stem of the verb. Modal verbs are not allowed to stand on their own; however, a pro-verb may be used as the modified verb, to shorten sentences while still keeping them grammatical.
