MODAL VERBS REVIEW
Puntúa 30,00
In this lesson we are going to review the different modal verbs we have studied so far. Please, watch the following video
sobre 30,00 and take notes if necessary:

MODAL VERBS and How to Use Them in English Grammar

The modal verbs include can, must, may, might, will, would, should. They are used with other verbs to express ability,
obligation, possibility, and so on. Below is a list showing the most useful modals and their most common meanings:
 

Modal Meaning Example

can to express ability I can speak a little Russian.
can to request permission Can I open the window?
may to express possibility I may be home late.
may to request permission May I sit down, please?
must to express obligation I must go now.
must to express strong belief She must be over 90 years old.
should to give advice You should stop smoking.
would to request or offer Would you like a cup of tea?
would in if-sentences If I were you, I would say sorry.
 
Modal verbs are unlike other verbs. They do not change their form (spelling) and they have no in nitive or participle
(past/present). The modals must and can need substitute verbs to express obligation or ability in the different tenses.
Here are some examples:

 
Past simple I couldn't/wasn't able to walk until I was 3 years old.
Present perfect I haven't been able to solve this problem. Can you help?
Future I'm not sure if I will be able to come to your party.
In nitive I would love to be able to play the piano.
 

Modals are auxiliary verbs and they do not need an additional auxiliary in negatives or questions. For example: Must I
come? (Do I must come?), or: He shouldn't smoke (He doesn't should smoke).

Let's practice:
Choose the best answer for each sentence:
 

1. I didn't feel very well yesterday. I   couldn't   eat anything.

2. You   should   look at me when I am talking to you.

3. I was using my pencil a minute ago. It   must   be here somewhere!

4. You really   mustn't   be late again. They are going to re you

5. If you don't start working harder, you   will have to   repeat the course next year.

6. His parents spoil him. He's always   been able   to do whatever he wants.

7. You   mustn't   forget your sun cream. It's going to be very hot!

8. Mozart   could   play the piano beautifully.

9. You have a terrible headacke. You   should  take an aspirin.

10.   Would  you take me to the doctor? My appointment is in 30 minutes and my car is broken.

TAG QUESTIONS REVIEW
Puntúa 40,00
Here is a short video you need to watch in order to remember some of the basic things about tag questions.
sobre 40,00  

ESL Tag Questions

So let's see:

What is a tag question?

A tag question (or question tag in British English) is a structure used to con rm a
statement via a short question at the end of the sentence.
    You speak English, don't you?
    He will visit Argentina next month, won't he?

What is the sentence structure?

The sentence structure is as follows:
    positive statement  |  ,  |  negative tag question
    Harold found a new job  |  ,  |  didn't he?
    You studied Italian  |  ,  |  didn't you?

    negative statement  |  ,  |  positive question tag

    Most people in your company couldn't get a raise  |  ,  |  could they?
    Jennifer won't be able graduate next spring  |  ,  |  will she?

The statement and the tag question have the same verb tense and the same modal verb (if used).  With an action verb
( nd, study, etc), the tag question uses the auxiliary "do."  In addition, the personal pronoun in the tag matches the subject
of the sentence.  Look at the following:
    You are happy, aren't you?
    He is rich, isn't he?
    Karen wasn't able to go to work, was she?
    They visited New York, didn't they?

    Bill will graduate next spring, won't he?

    Sandy must study for the test, mustn't she?
    They could vote in the primary, couldn't they?

How are tag questions used?

Tag questions infrequently appear in writing.  When used, the speaker believes himself to be correct, but wants to
con rm the information.  The tag functions as a question.  For example:

    You got a haircut, didn't you? = It looks like you got a haircut.  Did you get one?
    You hate your job, don't you? = I think you hate your job.  Do you hate it?

Tag questions can also emphasize a commonly held belief.  In this case, the tag functions like a statement.  For
example:

    Our boss doesn't know what to do, does he? = Our boss is so clueless, everyone must agree.
    This movie is really boring, isn't it? = This movie is so boring, everyone must agree.
Lastly, when answering a tag question, the answer should re ect the truth of the situation.  It shouldn't necessarily
answer the question.  Look at the following example:

    Q: Bill Gates is the richest man in the world, isn't he?
    A: Yes, he is (the richest man in the world).

    Q: Bill Gates isn't the richest man in the world, is he?
    A:  Yes, he is (the richest man in the world).

24/5/2020 pref_7_Grammar 3.7: Revisión del intento

In both cases, the reply is "yes" in order to correctly answer to the situation.

Let's practice!
Choose the best option to complete each tag question:
He's not coming,   is he  ?

I'm not late,   am I  ?

The bank lent him the money,   didn't it  ?

You shouldn't do that,   should you  ?

You don't take sugar in coffee,   do you  ?

She looks tired,   desn't she  ?

There's a cinema near the station,   isn't it  ?

Nobody has arrived yet,   have they  ?

It's time to go,   isn't it  ?

You had seen it before,   hadn't you  ?

Everybody looked so miserable,   didn't they  ?

You wouldn't do that,   would you  ?

REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS REVIEW
Puntúa 30,00
Let's make a review of the re exive pronouns we have learnt so far:
sobre 30,00  

Re exive and Intensive Pronouns

So, When do we use a re exive pronoun?

• as a direct object when the object is the same as the subject of the verb:

I am teaching myself to play the piano.

Be careful with that knife. You might cut yourself.
We can use a re exive pronoun as direct object with most transitive verbs, but these are the most common:

amuse blame cut dry enjoy help

hurt introduce kill prepare satisfy teach

Some verbs change their meaning slightly when they have a re exive pronoun as direct object:

Would you like to help yourself to another drink?

= Would you like to take another drink.
I wish the children would behave themselves.
 = I wish the children would behave well.
He found himself lying by the side of the road.
= He was surprised when he realised that he was at the side of the road.
I saw myself as a famous actor.
= I imagined that I was a famous actor.
She applied herself to the job of mending the lights.
= She worked very hard to mend the lights.
He busied himself in the kitchen.
 = He worked busily in the kitchen.
I had to content myself with a few Euros.
= I had to be satis ed with a few Euros.

We do not use a re exive pronoun after verbs which describe things people usually do for themselves, such
as wash, shave, dress:
He washed [himself] in cold water.
He always shaved [himself] before going out in the evening.
Michael dressed [himself] and got ready for the party.

We only use re exives with these verbs for emphasis:

He dressed himself in spite of his injuries.
She’s old enough to wash herself.

• as indirect object when the indirect object is the same as the subject of the verb:

Would you like to pour yourself a drink.
We’ve brought ourselves something to eat.

• as the object of a preposition when the object refers to the subject of the clause:

They had to cook for themselves.
He was feeling very sorry for himself.

• with the preposition by when we want to show that someone did something alone and/or without any help:
He lived by himself in an enormous house.
She walked home by herself.

The children got dressed by themselves.

I prepared the whole meal by myself.

24/5/2020 pref_7_Grammar 3.7: Revisión del intento

• to emphasise the person or thing we are referring to, especially if we are talking about someone very famous::

Kendal itself is quite a small town.

Sir Paul McCartney himself sang the nal song.

We often put the re exive pronoun at the end of the clause when we are using it for emphasis:
I baked the bread myself.
She mended the car herself

Let's practice!. Choose the appropriate re exive for each sentence:

 

Ladies and gentlemen. There's masses of food, so please help ............... yourselves 

It's a very clever machine. It turns ............... off. itself 

I thought it was a bit rude. She never introduced ............... herself 

It's long time since they've enjoyed ............... so much. themselves 

He cut ............... shaving today. himself 

I never really had lessons, I just taught ............... myself 

Don't worry about us. We can amuse ............... for an hour or two ourselves 

Mary, you shouldn't blame ............... for the accident. yourself 
