Das modale Hilfsverb "will" (The Modal Auxiliary Verb "Will")

Kunsmann, Peter W.

Neusprachliche Mitteilungen, 28, 2, 100-106, 75

That "will" and "shall" are modal, not temporal, verbs is shown by their syntactic similarity to the modals and by the fact that they follow the same transformational rules as the modals. This example demonstrates the usefulness of transformational grammar in explaining grammatical relationships to students. (Text is in German.) (IFS/WGA)
