--explanation--

Modal verb is always followed by the base form of the verb. Modal verb does not take to, -ing, or past tense forms. Here are examples of the incorrect verb forms:

  • Must to follow is incorrect because must takes to.

  • Must following is incorrect because must is followed by an -ing form.

  • Must followed is incorrect because followed is in the past tense.
