例: Chinese kids do not often go to the library because they have a lot of homework; therefore, they are usually too busy to visit it regularly.

× I think that they have a lot of homework and too busy to go to the library.

✓ I think that they have a lot of homework and are too busy to go to the library.

The sentence is missing the verb 'are' before 'too busy'. In English, when connecting two predicates about the same subject, each predicate needs its verb. Here, 'have a lot of homework' and 'are too busy' are two predicates describing 'they'. The modal verb usage problem arises because 'too busy' is an adjective that requires a linking verb 'are' to form a correct predicate. Adding 'are' corrects the sentence structure and makes it grammatically correct.
