'''Modals''' express under what conditions something happens. Toaq has four of them: {{t|she}}, {{t|dai}}, {{t|ao}}, and {{t|ea}}. When used with a complement, like {{t|âo x nä y}}, (where x is a CP) they work like this:

{|
|-
!
!does x happen
in this world?
!if it did,
would y happen?
|-
!{{t|she}}
|yes
|yes
|-
!{{t|dai}}
|yes
|maybe
|-
!{{t|ao}}
|no
|yes
|-
!{{t|ea}}
|no
|maybe
|}

This is presented in the refgram as

{|
!
!indicative
!subjunctive
|-
!necessity
|{{t|she}}
|{{t|ao}}
|-
!possibility
|{{t|dai}}
|{{t|ea}}
|}

Without a complement, they are given the falling tone, {{t|nä}} isn't used, and the restriction is left a mystery.
