A. ACTIVITY

Good morning class. Good morning Ma’am.

How are you today? That’s good to hear that. We are fine, Ma’am.

May I request everyone to please stand for a

prayer. _____________, kindly lead the prayer.

Yes, Ma’am. The following pictures are face
mask, face shield, alcohol, social distancing,
and no social gatherings.

These pictures tell us the safety protocols set by

Can you name the following pictures? the government for us to follow to avoid
COVID 19.

We must wear face mask properly.

That’s right. What are these pictures telling us?
What are those safety protocols?
We should wear face shield when we go out.
We must always bring alcohol to sanitize our
hands.
We should observe proper social distancing.
We must not go to social gatherings.

Very good. I am glad that you are aware of the

safety protocols set by the government. The
government is persuading us to follow these
protocols for us to be safe and prevent the risk of
spreading the virus.

One of the ways to persuade is to use modals in

a sentence. As you can see on the answers you
have given me, you used words such as must,
should, and must not. These words are modals.

So, class, our lesson for today is Modals

expressing Permission, Obligation, and
Prohibition.

B. ABSTRACTION

Modal verbs are auxiliary verbs (also called

helping verbs) like can, will, could, shall, must,
would, might, and should.
Modal verbs add meaning to the main verb in a
sentence.

When we want to express permission,

prohibition (not allowing something), and
obligation or no obligation, we use modals.

1. MODALS OF PERMISSION
We use the modal CAN to talk about
permission or ask for things at present

Examples:
a. Can I ask a question?
b. Can I go outside, please?
c. Can I come in?

We can also use COULD and MAY to

talk general permission in the past.

Examples:
a. Could we go to dinner after the movie?
b. Could I leave early today?
c. May I see you tomorrow morning?

Who can give me sample sentences using

Modals of Permission? __________

Very good!

2. MODALS OF OBLIGATION
The main verbs of obligation are:
Can I stay in your house for a while?
MUST, HAVE TO, SHOULD. The
past of have to/has to is had. MUST is
for personal obligations. HAVE is for
general obligations.

Examples:
a. You must stop here.
b. You have to wear a seatbelt when
you drive.
c. We must wear your face mask
properly.
d. We should observe proper social
distancing.

Using modals of obligation, who can give me

sentences about minimum health protocols? Yes,
________________.

Your answer is correct.

3. MODALS OF PROHIBITION
Modals and related verbs used to talk We should wash our hands regularly.
about prohibition (not allowed, not
permitted, forbidden)

Examples:
a. Mustn’t
You mustn’t smoke here.
We mustn’t attend social gatherings
in this time of pandemic.

b. Can’t
 You can’t smoke in here.

Do you now understand the modals expressing

permission, prohibition and obligation?

Very good, class.

Yes, Ma’am.
