20 minutes 2. Analysis and Abstraction Modal verbs are a special kind of auxiliary verbs. Like other auxiliary verbs, they are always used with a main verb but modal verbs express an attitude to what we say. They can express how certain or uncertain we are about an event, or how willing or unwilling we are to do something, for example. We will give attention to the four paired forms can and could, will and would, may and might, and shall and should and one of the singular forms- must. Okay class, I have here different sentences. Who would want to read the sentences?

(A student will volunteer.)

1. I can drive. 2. Can I use your phone please?

What did you observe from the sentences? Very good! So what is the function of can in the first sentence? Precisely! How about in the second sentence? Correct! In the third sentence? How about in the last sentence? Meaning to say can is used to? Is that clear? Who would like to read the next sentences? Base from what youve read, what is the function of could in the different sentences?

3. You can use my phone. 4. Students can pre-enroll the

subjects. Sentences used can. Can in the first sentence state physical capacity or ability. The persona talking is stating that he is able to driving. Can in the second sentence ask permission or request. Can is used to give permission. Can is used to give an option.

1. I could cook fish fillet. 2. Could I use your phone please? 3. We could go to the new

restaurants. 4. It could rain today. 5. She could be at home.

Could in the first sentence express about ability in the past. In the second sentence, it is use as a polite permission or request. The third sentence conveys suggestion. The fourth sentence tells about possibility

Very good! In other words, could performs as? Very good! How about these sentences? Who would like to read? Exactly! So what is the function of may? Very good! Who would like to read these sentences? So what is the function of the sentences? Youre right! So might is used to show what? Correct! Class, remember that may is used in writing because it is formal while might is more common in conversations. Are you still up? Modals are quite confusing but you should

or low probability. The last one articulate on possibility of many.

Could functions as: 1. Past ability 2. Polite permission 3. Suggestion/option 4. It also shows possibility.

1. May I use your phone please? 2. It may rain today. 3. She may be at home.

The first sentence express polite request. The second sentence says possibility, more probable than could. The third sentence is the same as the second one.

May is used to: 1. Ask for a polite permission

(formal way). 2. Give possibility, more probable

than could

1. It might rain today. 2. She might be at home.

The probability of the event is greatly reduced when might is used.

Possibility. Yes Sir!
