Do you find it hard?

Now, do you have any idea about what our

No one?
So today, let me introduce you to the topic
for today, which is modals.

But before we start our lesson, these are

our learning objectives that we need to
meet during and after our discussion
today.

Please read:

At the end of the discussion, the students

must be able to:

● Identifying different types of modals;

● analyzing the the varying purposes

modals;

● and effectively using the modals in

writing a paragraph.

(Powerpoint presentation)

MODAL

What is modal?

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.

Example of modals

● I believe I can fly.

● Khodhy must call the police after
the incident.
● Janine has to prepare for her
exams.
● Bernadette doesn’t have to secure
a permit for her to go out of her
house.

Permission

Is an act of giving consent or authorization.

In stating permission, modals to be used
include can, could and may.

A. Can is used to ask for and give

permission

Examples:

Can you give me your number?

Can you help me with this?

I can do it if you want me to.

B. Could is also used as a more polite and

more formal modal in asking permission
(which may not be given).

Examples:

● I could possibly ask my mom to

cook it for us.
● Could I interview the mayor?
 ● Could you lend me your book?

C. May is the most polite and formal model

used in asking and giving permission.

Examples:

● Medical practitioners affected by

COVID-19 may now claim their
financial support from the
government.
● Teachers may now distribute the
modules to the learners.
● May I borrow your book, please?

Prohibition

Is the act of disallowing or prohibiting

someone in performing or doing
something. Modals showing prohibition
include can’t and must not/ mustn’t.

Can’t is used in dealing with someone

against rules, laws and signs.This is used
when the speaker is not the one who sets
the rules.

Examples:

● You can’t go out during the

community quarantine. (Quarantine
Policy)
● The company can’t apply for a
motion for reconsideration. (Legal
Proceeding)
● You can’t buy any alcoholic
beverages due to liquor ban.
(Liquor Ban Policy)

B. Must Not/ Mustn’t is used in dealing

with something that is not permitted. In this
context, it is the speaker who sets the
rules.
Examples:

I must call my husband now.

We must finish the report on time.

I must stay away from them.

Obligation

Expresses commitment or duty. Modals

used in expressing obligation include have
to (has to) and must.

No Obligation

Expresses the absence of commitment or

duty as one may do it or not. Don’t
(doesn’t) have to is used to express no
obligation.

Examples:

She doesn’t have to attend the funeral if

she is not feeling well.

You don’t have to come to my office in

person. You may submit it online.

The employees don’t have to come this

morning; the activity will start in the
