 # Sentence Modal Function

What is It

What are modals?

Modals are auxiliary verbs that are used when we express ability, a certainty,
permission, a request, an offer, suggestion, an advice, a possibility or even
impossibility. These are the words: CAN, COULD, MAY, MIGHT, SHALL, SHOULD,
WILL, WOULD, MUST, OUGH TO.

Examples: I can dance the Tango. (This sentence uses a modal that shows ABILITY
of the speaker to dance.)
CAN + DANCE (This is your MODAL PHRASE.)

What makes up your modal phrase?

Base form of the verb
Can Could
May Might
It is the MODAL
shall Should DANCE
Will Would
must Ought to

Try this one.

You should wear sunglasses during sunny days to protect
your eyes.

What is your MODAL PHRASE? ________________________

One way of knowing the speaker or writer’s opinion on a certain matter is by
looking at the modal he/she used in the sentence. Let’s take a look at these
sentences.
My dad can lift a heavy pail of water. (ABILITY)

The sun will rise from the east. (CERTAINTY)

You should bring an umbrella whenever you go out. (ADVICE)

9
If I were you, I would stay at home during this pandemic. (ADVICE)

If you asked me, I would say no. (ADVICE)

Tessa, you may leave the room now. (PERMISSION)

Can we go to grandma’s house on Sunday? (REQUEST)

The sky is gray. It looks like it might rain today. (POSSIBILITY)

The whole city is under Enhanced Community Quarantine, travelers can’t enter
the borders. (IMPOSSIBILITY)

* We usually put the negative – NOT after the modal to show impossibility that
there is no way that a thing may happen.

CITY LIFE
By dsjabonita

“City life is millions of people being lonesome together.”

-Henry David Thoreau
What’s in the city? Well, there are breath-taking landscapes of
skyscrapers, frustrating traffic congestions, belching smokes and loud
honking from a fleet of cars and scurrying army of people on the pavements.
These sights would tremendously stress you. Why do a lot of people wish to
live in the city to make their dreams come true? Very often, they connect
success to being able to work in the city. Is there really life in the city? I
could barely sleep amidst its noise more so, the disgusting smoke and smog
that pollute the air and hamper my health.

Every morning when I commute from home to school, a herd of

commuters await the highways. The flock of “early birds” are lucky to catch
a bus. Meanwhile, to the battalion of late risers, the wide grin of the taxi
driver will certainly taunt them to open the door of his cab. To ride or not to
ride: that is the question. City life is not for the phlegmatic. It is not for the
weak. You will be drowned in its gigantic series of waves of competition. The
people here thrive in the toxicity and hypocrisy of the driven city life. The
city houses a mob of lonely people out there who silently and tearfully gaze
at the constellation of stars every night. In this archipelago of islands, it is a
reality that a number of Filipinos quietly endure this numbing solitude.

 What is It

What are nouns? These are words that name a person, place or thing. There are
actually many kinds of nouns: the proper, common, concrete, abstract, the
countable, uncountable, compound nouns, and the collective nouns. In this
module, we will be focusing more on the discussion about collective nouns.

What are collective nouns? These are names for a

collection of things,
animals or people.

ANIMALS
an army of ants PEOPLE
a flock of birds a cast of actors
a swarm of bees a panel of judges
a herd of cows a bevy of girls
a drove of horses a patrol of policemen
a pack of wolves a class of students
a school of fish a choir of singers
a troop of scouts

THINGS
a deck of cards
a comb of bananas
a string of pearls
a constellation of
stars
a bundle of sticks
a catalogue of prices
a shower of rain

These are some examples of collective nouns for things, animals or people. There
are a lot more that you can look up on English grammar books or even in the
internet.

Adverbs usually express manner, place, time, frequency, degree, and level of
certainty. They answer questions such as how? in what way? when?
where? and to what extent? They usually end in LY such as regularly,
brilliantly, completely and thoroughly.

In today’s lesson, we shall focus on ADVERBS OF INTENSITY.

Adverbs of degree tell us about the intensity of something. They are usually
placed before an adjective or another adverb.

For example,

Lila is so pretty. (SO, is your adverb of intensity, it modifies the adjective

PRETTY.) How pretty is Lila? She is SO PRETTY.

Let’s try this one. Look for the verb. What word tells us HOW the verb is
done?

I strongly recommend brisk walking as an exercise.

adverb verb

How did I recommend? I recommended STRONGLY.
