Identify the italicized word according to its class in structural linguistics. (May) I go to the library? conjunction preposition auxiliary interrogative empty word

Sagot :

The italics aren't showing up here, but assuming that it is the word "May" that is in question, the answer would be "interrogative". This is generally true whenever a question is used.

Hello.

Goal: Identify the italicized word

Sentence: (May) I go to the library?

Kind of sentence: interrogative.

Italicized word: May.

May is a modal verb: a type of verb that is used to indicate modality – that is: likelihood, ability, permission, request, capacity, suggestions, order and obligation, and advice etc. In this case, due to the kind of sentence, may acts like and auxiliary verb.

An auxiliary verb is a verb used in forming the tenses, moods, and voices of other verbs. May, in this case, indicates modality and permission.

Hope it helps you.
