Hello everybody,

Would you please answer the following questions?


1- Would it be possible to come "s" after proper names as plural for calling people with the same name, for example, "you two Jeffs!", "you are Minas", and etc? If not, how do you call them?

2- What is difference between auxiliary verbs and modals?


Thanks in advance

1. Yes.

2. All modals are auxiliaries, but not all auxiliaries are modals.

Do you like this? -- Do = auxiliary ≠ modal
