TY - CONF ID - 1626657 AU - Sládková, Věra PY - 2019 TI - Modal verbs in English essays written by Czech secondary school students KW - central modals KW - quasi-modals KW - lexical verbs KW - learner corpus KW - error patterns N2 - This paper presents the findings of frequency analysis of modal verbs and their complementation in 390 English school-leaving essays written by Czech secondary-school students in a high-stakes exam. The findings reveal a very high proportion of correct complementation patterns, but predominantly with lexical verbs at A1 and A2 CEFR levels while complementation by past-tense forms of lexical verbs and the absence of complementation are the most frequent errors.
