The English modal verb system has proved to be a difficult linguistic concept even for advanced EFL students. Their comprehension/usage problems may be of purely morpho-syntactic and semantic nature or may also involve sociolinguistic dimensions. The paper examines the question of polysemy, sociolinguistic factors and the role of ELT models.
