In this paper, a modified F-expansion method is proposed by taking full advantages of F-expansion
method and Riccati equation in seeking exact solutions of nonlinear PDEs. By the method, rich families of
exact solutions of nonlinear PDEs have been obtained, including soliton-like solutions, trigonometric
function solutions and rational solutions. The method can be applied to solve massive nonlinear PDEs
(group), as well as helps us find new exact solutions. Furthermore, with the aid of computer symbolic
systems (Mathematica or Maple), the method can be conveniently operated. Some illustrative equations are
investigated by this method and some figures of partial solutions are provided for direct-viewing analysis.
