Okay, we are going to talk about Modal

Modals are special kind of auxiliary or helping

verbs. It is a verb that cannot work without
another verb.

3 types of Modal:
1. Modal Verb
2. Modal Noun
3. Modal Adverb (Students listening and participating)

1. Modal verbs are auxiliary or helping verbs

which modify or change the
meaning of the main verbs.They are used to
express ability, obligation, and possibility, and
asking permission.

Ability: Can
Example: I can speak English
I can lend you my car till tomorrow.

Obligation: Must/ have to/ need to

household chores.

Possibility: Could,may or might

Example: Could you wait a moment, please?
May I help you?

Asking permission: Could, can, or may

Example: Could you please turn on the AC?
May I borrow your scissor?

2. Modal Nouns are used to express various

moods through its application in a sentence.
Words like permission, capacity, possibility,
responsibility, obligation, chance, promise,
requirement, request, and ability.

knowledge to students.

3. Modal Adverbs are used to modify verbs,

adjectives, and other verbs. It can tell you more
