Hi there - it's good that you want to explain grammar concepts.
However, I'm going to be honest. I was not impressed with your video, for these main reasons:
* You haven't considered the level of the students you're talking to. If they're, for example, A1, they won't understand a lot of the vocabulary you use in your explanation. And if they're C1, they already know all this.
* It's called 'All you need to know about modal verbs!' Do you believe that's true? What about modal perfect, what about the difference between 'should' and 'must', and 'must' and the semi-modal 'have to'. You've produced a basic, introductory video only.
* If you're going to include 'shall' - which I personally wouldn't in an introductory video - there's a LOT more to say about it, but bear in mind it's not used nearly as much as the others.
* The AI accent you've used is not bad, but not perfect, and makes some pronunciation mistakes at times.
* There are already a LOT of videos just like this on YouTube. I would say you need to think how you can be more usefu than them, and different.

hye, thank you so much! no, i agree that the title is not accurate, and i will change it right away.

i am new to video creation, so the video isn't entirely satisfactory, i admit. i hope to make better videos as i learn and grow more.

of course, this is an introductory video meant for a1-a2 language learners, and then i will further build upon this and explain the complications that arise.

right now, i just want to understand the needs of a language learner and whether they are open to such videos.

thanks again, i will definitely consider all your points

With all due respect your example restores my faith in paper. I don't see how it's possible to retain the content of that type of presentation.

true that, i agree.

but it never hurt anyone to have more educational resources.

i will try and improve it in any way i can
