Today were going to look at the modal verbs must and mustnt.

As you probably already know, must expresses obligation and mustnt expresses
prohibition.
Look at some rules you might find on a piece of paper on the wall in a classroom where
people are studying English.
Mira unas reglas que se podran encontrar en la pared de un aula donde se estudia ingls.
You must listen to the teacher.
Debes escuchar al profesor.
You must do your homework.
Debes hacer los deberes.
You must try to speak in English at all times.
Debes intentar hablar en ingls en todo momento.
You must follow the teachers instructions.
Debes seguir las instrucciones del profesor.
You mustnt chew gum.
No debes masticar chicle.
You mustnt shout.
No debes gritar.
You mustnt speak when the teacher is speaking.
No debes hablar cuando est hablando el profesor.
You mustnt run in the classroom.
No debes correr por el aula.
The most important rule when studying English in a classroom is You must try to speak in
English at all times!
A good rule for online students is You must try to write to your teacher in English at all
times ;)
Una buena regla para los estudiantes que realizis cursos online de ingls es Debes
intentar escribir a tu profesor en ingls en todo momento ;)
Remember the above rule next time you write to your teacher :)
Recuerda la regla de arriba la prxima vez que escribas a tu profesor :)
Have a lovely weekend.
Take care,

Im a very indecisive person and today Im going to teach you how to express possibility in
English
Lets start with the modal verbs may and might.
The modal verb may indicates possibility.
For example,
I may have pizza for dinner tonight.
Es posible que cene pizza esta noche.
It may rain this weekend.
Puede que llueva este fin de semana.
Here you can use the modal verb might instead of may and say:
I might have pizza for dinner tonight.
It might rain this weekend.
Here may is slightly more formal than might.
En estas frases, may es un poco ms formal que might.
We sometimes use the adverbs maybe and perhaps to express possibility. Perhaps
is more formal than maybe.
When referring to possible future events like the ones in the examples above, we use these
adverbs followed by the future with will.
Cuando hablamos de posibles eventos futuros como los de los ejemplos de arriba, estos
adverbios van seguidos del futuro con will.
Look
Perhaps I will have pizza for dinner tonight.
or
Maybe I will have pizza for dinner tonight.
Quizs cene pizza esta noche.
Perhaps it will rain this weekend.
or
Maybe it will rain this weekend.
Quizs llueva este fin de semana.
Hopefully it wont rain this weekend!
Espero que no llueva este fin de semana!
Now, watch the ABA Film 49 and see how Andrew helps Emily learn the modal verbs!
Put your headset on!
Have a lovely weekend.
