Concept Notes:

A modal is a kind of auxiliary (helping) verb that is used to express permission.

Permission – the act of permitting, formal consent
Examples: can, may, could
“Can” is most often used to ask for or give permission but “may” and “could” are also possible even
though they are not used as often as “can”.
Examples of Sentences using Permission:
1. Can I borrow a pen?
2. Could I open the window?
3. May I ask a question?
Prohibition is a kind of modal. It is an order to restrain or stop.
Examples: “Can’t and “Mustn’t” (must not) are used to show that something is prohibited or not
allowed.
“Can’t usually gives the idea of something that is against the rules.
Examples:
1. You can’t go into that restaurant without a tie.
2. You can’t drive in this country unless you are over eighteen.
“Mustn’t means that is the speaker who is setting the rule.
Example: You mustn’t use your phone in class.
 Obligation is a kind of modal. It is the action of obligating oneself to a course of action.
Examples: ‘Have to’ and ‘Must”
‘Have to’ shows that the obligation comes from someone else, not the speaker. This is usually referring
to a rule or law.
Example of Sentences:
1. We have to be at the airport at least two hours before the flight.
2. They have to wear their uniforms at school.
‘Must’ shows us that the obligation comes from the speaker.

Concept Notes:

Conditionals
Prototypical conditional sentences in English are those of the form “ if X, then Y”. The clause X is
referred to as the antecedent, while the clause Y is called the consequent. A conditional is understood as
expressing its consequent under the temporary hypothetical assumption of its antecedent.
A conditional sentence as two parts: the if clause and the result clause. Conditional sentences that deal
with real or factual situations are called future conditional. We use conditionals to talk about imagery
situation in the past, present and future.
FUTURE CONDITIONAL SENTENCES
If - Clause Result Clause
(Real and Factual) (Probable Result)
Future form( shall, will)
If + present form of a verb Modal ( can , may) + present form of the verb

Conditions may be introduced, not only by if but also by unless and provided that.
