“Thank you, Mr. Justin! So, all of your answers are

correct. And these verbs are called Modals or Modal
expressions. Throughout this discussion you are
able to define what is modal verbs, the different
types, and the usage of modals in a sentence. Are you “Yes, Ma’am”
ready class?”

(The teacher presents the definition of the modal

verbs and its different types with corresponding
examples)
(Twinkle raised her hand)
“Can someone please read the slide”

“Go ahead, Ms. Twinkle”

Modal Verbs – shows possibility, ability, or

necessity. These verbs are auxiliary or helping verbs
which modify or change the meaning of the main
verbs. You use modal verbs in giving advice or
suggestions, making requests, or giving predictions
and prohibitions.

Types Modal Verbs Simple Example

Ability Can, Could Shane can walk from
her house to school.
I could run 5 miles
when I was young.

Permissio Can, Could, Can I ask you to give (Twinkle reads the slide)
n May me that bag?
Could you close the
door?
May we borrow these
chairs?
Advice Should You should take your
medicines every
night.
Obligation Must, Have She must arrive on
to time or else we won’t
take her to the event.
Possibility Might. May I’m full right now but
Could, Can I may eat lunch later.
I might write my
notes later.
They could still be
waiting for us there.
The price of noodles
can be high on Korea
compare here in
Philippines.

Modal Verbs used alongside main verb to change its

meaning slightly. Because they’re auxiliary verbs,
they can’t necessarily be used on their own.
“Now that you’ve already had an idea about what

“How about suggestion or advice? What verb do you

something and give me an example for that.” JJ answered: “Ma’am you can
use should if you’re giving
suggestions or advice on
something. Example of that is,
you should try my makeup
“That’s excellent example, and you got the right products”

D. Abstraction break down what exactly what modal verbs is.
Modal Verb is a helping verb that shows possibility,
permission, ability, advice, obligation in a sentence,
so basically, we can see it before the main verb.
Example: You must take your vitamins regularly so
that you don’t easily get sick. So here, must is the
modal verb and take is the main verb, we can (The students listening
observe here that it is commanding to take her attentively and taking down
medicine, but if we used the verb should, then you notes)
should take your vitamins regularly so that you
don’t easily get sick. If we use the verb ‘should’ then
it is now giving suggestions or advice.” In situations
when something is possible but not certain, use the
 Republic of the Philippines

modal verbs could, may, or might. You can use can
or could if the subject is showing the ability to do
something. If you want to ask permission to do
something, start your question with can, may,
or could. If you’re requesting something you can use
will, would, can, or could.
