LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET
EXPRESS PERMISSION, OBLIGATION, AND PROHIBITION USING MODALS
Background Information for Learners
Modals are auxiliary verbs that are used to express permission, obligation,
prohibition, certainty, probability, possibility, ability, advice, and request among others.
Unlike main verbs and other auxiliary verbs (I.e., be, do and have), modal verbs do not
change their form (spelling) and cannot be used alone in a sentence. Below is a list of the
common uses or functions of modals, the modals used for each function, and sample sentence
for each.
Expressing PERMISSION

Activity 4. Read the biography of Helen Keller, then do the activities that
follow.
HELEN KELLER
For nineteen months Helen grew bigger and stronger. She was able to walk when she
was a year old; she could say a few words.
But one day the child fell ill. She must have been very ill. For days she was laid up
with a high fever and soon the parents learned that their darling would never be able to
see and hear.
The little child was now doomed to a life of silence and darkness. She could not
hear what was said to her and did not know how to talk, she was unable to play with other
children.
When Helen was 6 years old her parents took her to Baltimore and then to
Washington to famous doctors to find out if they could do something to make her hear and
see again, but the doctors could do nothing. The child was hopelessly deaf. Dr. Bell said
the Kellers should address the Perkins Institution for the blind in Boston and ask if they
could send someone to help the child.
It was a wonderful day for Helen Keller when Ann Sullivan arrived in March 1887 to
take charge of the child who could neither hear nor speak. Helen was nearly seven, Ann
Sullivan was past twenty.
Ann Sullivan found a way to make herself understood. She gave the child a doll, and
taking Helen Keller’s hand she slowly spelled out "d-o-l". The child learnt for the first time
that things must have names.
When Miss Sullivan later spelled into the little girl’s hand the word “w-a-t-e-r” and
then let the water from the pumps run over her hand, a new light seemed to brighten the
face of the child. During the next 3 months, she learned 300 words and could even put
some of them into sentences.
Miss Sullivan loved her pupil who was so quick to learn. She lived with Helen, played with
her and worked with her every hour of the day. By means of the hand language, Helen and
her teacher were able to talk to each other.
Helen learned to read books that were printed for the blind with raised letters. She also
learned to use the typewriter to write what she wanted to say.
When Helen was 10 she was determined that she would learn to speak.
At first she learned only the sounds of the letters of the alphabet, but soon she was able to
say words and sentences.
In the story of her life Helen Keller writes, “I shall never forget the surprise and
delight I felt when I uttered my first connected sentence: “It is
warm.”
At first she had much difficulty with her speech, but Ann Sullivan understood what
Helen trying to say. Helen practised speaking day after day until at last she developed a
clear voice.
5
Later she was able to speak before large crowds which came to hear her whenever
she lectured.
At the age of 20 Helen Keller passed all the difficult entrance examinations to
Radcliffe College. Helen did extremely well in her classes and was able to keep up with
the other students. Helen wrote “The Story of My Life” while she was in college. In her
writings and lectures Helen did everything she could to help and encourage others who

CONDITIONALS
What are conditionals? Conditionals are sometimes called 'if clauses'. They
describe the result of something that might happen (in the present or future) or might
have happened but didn't (in the past).
Read the following verse
Notice that each stanza is equivalent to one sentence made-up of two clauses-
If I were a If I that
werethe
thedependent clause begins
a dependent and an independent clause. Note further
tree I would
with IF. The main clause answers the IF clause. moon I should
comfort soothe Away
Dependent Clause Independent Clause
If I were a tree I would comfort you with my shade.
If I were the moon I should soothe away your cares.
TYPES OF CONDITIONALS
1. Present Real Conditionals
The present real conditional (also called conditional 0) is used to talk about
what you normally do in real-life situations.
Form
[If / When ... simple present ..., ... simple present ...]
[... simple present ... if / when ... simple present ...]
Example:
When I have a day off from work, I often go to the beach.

If the weather is nice, she walks to work.
1
Note:
Both "if" and "when" are used in the present real conditional. Using "if"
suggests that something happens less frequently. Using "when" suggests that
something happens regularly.
Example:
When I have a day off from work, I usually go to the beach.

I regularly have days off from work.
If I have a day off from work, I usually go to the beach.

I rarely have days off from work.
2. Present Unreal Conditional
The next conditional that we're going to talk about is the

present unreal conditional. Use the present unreal conditional to talk about
what you would do in an unreal, or imaginary situation. For example, "If I
were you, I would take the job." The key word is would; it makes the
conditional unreal. Would can only be used in the result clause of the
sentence.
Form
[If / When ... simple past ..., … would /could/should/might+ simple
present ...]
[... simple present ... if / when ... simple present ...]
Example:
1. If I were an animal, I would like to be a panda.
2. If I were you, I should start saving money.
Learning Competency with Code

3. If I were you, I would accept this offer.
4. If the weather is nice, she walks to work.
5. They would earn more money if they worked harder.

4. If I were the president,

Exercise 3.
Below are three important social and environmental issues of today. What is your stand in
each of the illustrated issues below? Use PRESENT REAL CONDITIONALS in presenting
your arguments.
EXAMPLE:
POVERTY
Combating poverty had been a challenge to most families in our
country and the children are the most affected to it. I think the
government can help the poor, if they can create more jobs and
raise the minimum wage of workers so that the parents can
provide the needs of the family.

Communicative Styles for Various Situations
Communicative Style is the form of language that a speaker uses and it is

characterized by the degree of formality. This implies that the language used by the speaker
varies based on given situations or settings and the persons involved.
Types of Communicative Styles
Intimate – It is a style among intimate members of a family or friends that do not need a
complete language with clear articulation. It is enough to use short utterances. This style is
private which occurs between or among close family members or individuals. The language
used in this style may not be shared in public.
Casual/Informal- A casual form of information sharing typically used in personal

conversations with friends or family members.
Example: Phone texts, conversations with friends or family members
Formal-This style is used in formal settings. Unlike the consultative style, this is one-way.
Example: Sermons by priests and ministers, State of the Nation Address of the President,
forma speeches, or pronouncement by judges
Consultative- It is conversational style in which the speaker constantly observes listener’s

verbal and nonverbal cues for feedback. What the speaker will say next depends on the
feedback provided by the listener. It is also used when talking to strangers-pronounces words
well, chooses words carefully, speaks in complete sentences to minimize misunderstanding.
1
Example: Communication between teachers and students, employers and employees, doctor
and patient, judge and lawyer, or President and his/her constituents
1
Frozen – It is the most formal communicative style that is usually used in respectful situation
or formal ceremony. It is a formal style which is not really intended to give particular
message but to allow a reader to find many meanings for oneself.
Example: Preamble to the Constitution, Lord’s Prayer, Allegiance to country or flag
