REFLEXIVE AND EMPHATIC PRONOUNS
Example:
When you see the African lions in the park, you see them in their true
environment.
Both pronoun you are in the subject position. The pronoun them is the object
pronoun and refers to the lions. The pronoun their is in the possessive adjective form
because the environment discussed in sentence is that of the lions.
Possessive pronouns or adjectives are usually used with reference to parts of the
body.
Example:
1. She put the shawl over her shoulder
2. She lifted the boy and put the shawl in his shoulder.
3. She put a red hair on her head and a green one on his.
Observe the following example. Does the pronoun or possessive adjective agree with
the word it refers to?
Example:
The little girl put on her hat, and the little boy put on his hat.
If the hat girl put on belongs to the girl, the possessive adjective must agree with the
word girl. If the hat the boy put on belongs to the boy, the possessive pronoun must
agree with the word boy. If something in the sentence indicates that the hats they put on
belong to someone else, agreement must be made between the possessive pronoun or
adjective and that other person.

UNIT 2
MODAL AUXILIARIES
The modal auxiliaries in English are: can, could, had better, may, might, must,
ought to, shall, should, will, would. Modal auxiliaries generally express a speaker’s
attitude, or “moods”. For example, modals can express that a speaker feels something is
necessary, advisable, permissible, possible, or probable and addition, they can convey
the strength of these attitudes.
Modal is used with a verb word. A verb word is the dictionary form of the verb.
In some grammar books, the verb word is called the bare infinitive. Verb words are very
important in many patterns, but they are used most often with modals.
Must is also a modal. Must followed by the verb word have and a participle
expresses a logical conclusion based on evidence. The conclusion is about an event that
happened in the past.
Remember that an observation in the present may serve as the basis for a
conclusion about something that happened in the past.
Avoid using should or can instead of must. Avoid using a verb word instead of have
and a participle when referring to events in the past.
Page 20
Used to is similar to modal. Used to with a verb means that a custom in the past has not
continued.
Had better is similar to a modal. Although had appears to be a past, had better
expresses advice for the future.
The phrase would rather is similar to a modal. Although would rather appears to be a
past, it expresses preference in present and future time
Page 21
When the preference is for another person or thing, would rather that introduces a
clause. The other person or thing is the subject of the clause. Although the verb is past
tense, the preference is for present or future time.
Avoid using a present verb or a verb word instead of a past verb. Avoid using should
and a verb instead of a past verb.
