Have you noticed the auxiliary verbs used by Teacher Liz to
emphasize the responsibility and obligation of Josh? Can you men-
tion them?

14 11
 What is it
Modals are auxiliary verbs used to help the main or action verb.
Another function of modals is to express obligation.
 You can imply necessity and/or firm obligation by using must
and have to.
Examples:
 You must respect your elders.
 You must wear your mask when you go out.
 You have to speak politely when talking to your parents.
 You have to read the direction first to avoid inquiry later.
 You may use should and ought to to recommend and appeal
to moral obligation.
Examples:
 Someone should wipe this spill to avoid accidents.
 Lina should see her parents first as she was away from
home for years.
 Because of this pandemic, you ought to stay at home.
 As you answer this module, you ought to response with
honesty.
NOTE: When you use modal, the action verb should be in its base
form. Base form is the form of the verb without suffix, without -s,
-d, -ed, -ing and the like. Take note of the underline action verb in
the following examples.
She must enter the stage now.
They have to knock before they enter.

Do not forget to write your answers on the separate answer
