Learning Tips
- Pair modal verbs with perfective/imperfective verbs to understand aspect compatibility.
- Start with the most common modal verbs: 'morati' (must), 'trebati' (need), 'smjeti' (may), 'moći' (can).
- Compare affirmative and negative forms (e.g., 'mogu' vs. 'ne mogu' and 'moram' vs. 'ne moram').
