POTENTIAL MODE[*]
[Footnote *: The distinct potential mode is no longer used by many authorities on grammar, and the potential forms are regarded as of the indicative mode. It has, however, been thought best to use it in these model conjugations.
As to when to use the different auxiliaries of the potential mode see ---- 68 and 69. The conjugation with _must_ (or _ought to_) is sometimes called the OBLIGATIVE MODE. The conjugation with _should_ or _would_ is sometimes called the CONDITIONAL MODE.]
