d. Discussion

Very good class, so today were going to

discuss a new type of verb.

Modal Verbs

So, class! what is a modal verb?

 Modal verbs are sometimes referred to as
modal auxiliary verbs because they help
other verbs.
Very good! Modal verbs are used to indicate
ability, possibility, probability, permission,
request and obligation.

Using the modal verbs, we may, for example,

ask for permission to do something, grant
permission to someone, give or receive
advice, make or respond to requests and
offers, give instructions or orders, express
duty or obligation etc.

Listen class, before we proceed let’s first

have the important grammar aspects.

In modal verb, their should be one modal in a

single verb phrase. (examples are given
during discussion)

In tenses, all modals can refer to the

immediate present or the future
For example, I can call him today / I can call
him tomorrow).

When asking questions, we do not use do or

does in the beginning of the sentence. Do or
does is an example of auxiliary verb, if you
use do or does, modal verb is not needed in
that manner.

Modal verbs also do not have progressive

form. But we can put the verb that follows the
modal into the progressive form. (examples
are given during discussion)

In a negative formed, not is added after the

modal. In informal spoken English not is
often reduced to n’t. (examples are given
during discussion)

Did you understand class on how are you Yes Sir!

going to use modals?

Very good!

Ok, now class, let’s start using the given

modals in a sentence.

Let’s have the modal can/could.

Anyone who would like to use it in a Sir! I can play piano.

sentence?

Very good, in his sentence can was used to

indicate ability.

How about this sentence. Can I come? Sir! Request.

What does the modal indicate in the
sentence?
Very good. Aside from that, we can also use
them in asking for permission and possibility.
(let the student give examples)

Let’s have will/would

We commonly use it in asking for request and
possibility.

Stand up! Use the modal verb in a sentence Would you mine helping me.
indicating request and possibility. It will rain tomorrow.
The concert will start soon.
Very good.

Ok, let’s have shall/should

Class! Where do we usually use these Sir! We mostly used shall and should
modals? indicating obligation.

Can you give a sentence? (ask other student I should study hard.
to give examples.)

Very good! Aside from obligation, is there any Sir! Giving advice.
other useS?

Can you give an example? You should stop smoking.

Very good! Ok let’s have may.

When do we usually use may? When we ask for permission sir.

For example, may I come in?
Very good! Aside from that what else? Possibility sir.
Example please? It may rain tomorrow.

Very good, is there any other answer?

If none let’s have must.

I must study hard. What does the modal Obligation sir!
indicate?
Very good. Stand up, give me a sentence I must do my best in learning.
using must?

Very good, aside from obligation, what else? Prohibition sir, when use the negative form of
must.
Can you give me an example? You mustn’t cause trouble to your neighbor
or you get sued.
Thank you, aside from what he mentioned, Probability sir!
what else? Example, they must be brother, they look
alike.
Well done. Ok let’s have the last one, might. I might fail my subject.
Stand up use might in a sentence?

Stand up, what does his modal indicate in the Sir! Possibility
sentence?
Very good

e. Generalization

What makes modal verbs different from the
regular verbs?
Modal verbs do not have progressive form.
But we can put the verb that follows the
modal into the progressive form. In tenses, all
modals can refer to the immediate present or
the future. They don’t have infinitive or -ing
 forms.
