Fill in the blank with the appropriate modal.
Does she ________ cook her own meal?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → have to
Complete sentence: Does she have to cook her own meal? The question begins with “does”. After “does”, we need the base form of a main verb.
| Option | Meaning and use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) should | a modal. A modal never comes after “do” or “does”. To ask with it, we put it first. | Should I call the doctor now? |
| (2) ought to | also a modal. It is not used after “does”. | You ought to thank your teacher. |
| (3) must | a modal too. “Does she must” is wrong. We say “Must she ...?” | Must we finish this work today? |
| (4) have to (answer) | behaves like a main verb, so it can follow “does”: something is necessary | Do you have to wear a uniform at your school? |
