Abstract
Abstract The paper investigates multiple modals such as might could, might would, might can and would might. These are just a few of the core modal combinations with might which are being looked at through the use of iWeb and GloWbE, two corpora of online texts. The research primarily reveals the multiple modals’ frequency in the corpora. It also shows that they are found in both American and British English. In addition, their negation and inversion patterns are displayed.
