They have no meaning on their own but modify the meaning of other verbs. Modal verbs never change form or take inflections and are never followed by "to" except for ought to. They are also never used with auxiliary verbs like do, does, did. Questions and negatives are formed by changing word order or adding "not" after the modal verb. Modal verbs express meanings around doubt, certainty, possibility, probability, obligation, and permission or lack thereof.Top 10 Women Drivers

The document provides 9 lessons in 9 minutes about business and leadership. Each lesson is accompanied by a cost associated with not following that lesson. Some of the key lessons include trusting your instincts as the CEO, getting advice from trusted sources, asking customers for feedback often but not always listening to them, using common systems, understanding the business numbers, ensuring all employees have the right roles, not continuing to invest in unprofitable areas, and only listing the company publicly when it is clearly ready. The overall message is to focus on what the business excels at, what customers love, and what makes money.SydStart 2011 Autumn - OrionVM - Sheng Yeo - Joseph Glanville - Orion VM

This document discusses the concept of a "Brokepacker", which refers to backpackers who are always seeking the greatest value for their money and avoid returning home. It notes that 80-90% of backpackers have limited budgets. A booking engine is proposed that would allow accommodation and activity operators to sell discounted inventory to Brokepackers. The model would involve selling deals in sets on a first-come, first-served basis, with minimum 25% discounts and deeper "teaser" discounts of up to 70% off. It is targeted towards young backpackers aged 18-30 traveling through gateway cities like Sydney.Sydstart 2010 Spring Peter Cooper of Cooper Sydney - SydStart Keynote Confere...
