1001 Pitfalls in German - Read about Idiomatic Uses of Modals. Modals can be used by themselves when "gehen" (to go (on foot)), "fahren" (to go (to travel, to ride a bike, to drive a car, etc.)), or "tun" (to do) are implied. "Wollen" (to want) can be used to mean "to claim to". "Können" (to be able to) is used to mean "to know" when dealing with languages.
Also read about Passive Voice and Impersonal Verbs, which are used in German more than English.
