Verb

Hello

Please help

1. Is to, are to (be+ to), has to etc(auxiliary +to-modelverbs)

Are these model verbs


2. Voice/tense

My concern is if I replace is to/are to/have to with following model verbs - should/ will etc would the rules to define tense and voice structure remain same

For eg.

- this should be executed (future simple in passive voice ) (model verb+be+ objected acted upon)

Similarly

- task 'is yet to' (model verb) be executed -

- this has to(model verb) be taken on priority

Are these (present simple in passive voice )

Or

- he should be doing this

- he will be doing this(future progressive active)


Similarly

- he 'is supposed to' be doing this

This should also be in (present progressive active)

1. Can we use model verb and verbal idioms in same sentence

2. Why can't we use it in future perfect tense
