B. Analysis
Today we are going to discuss all about
modals.
Let us see what is the importance of
using modals in a sentence.

C. Abstraction
I think we can start our discussion with a
question.
Is anyone has a knowledge about
modals, yes, Jenly?

Modal Verbs is a type of auxiliary verb that is

used to indicate modality-that is likelihood,
Good answer Jenly! ability, permission, and possibility.

our lesson for today.
Well I guess some of you already have a
clue or knowledge about this topic. I
hope you participate actively in our
discussion.
Now, we will begin our topic for today.
We will just discuss it one-by-one
starting from what is modal?
Modal Verbs is a type of auxiliary verb
that is used to indicate modality-that is
likelihood, ability, permission, and
possibility. Just like what Mr. Jenly said
a while ago.
Another definition of Modal, yes,
Mercy?

Thank you, Mercy. such ideas as permission, possibility, and
necessity.
Can I ask a representative to read the
words posted on the board. Yes, Joan?

Yes that is correct the words posted on Can, Would, Could, Shall, May, Should,
the board are called modal but we can Might, Ought to, Will, Must
encounter some classifications also
include "dare," "need," and "used."

Let us move on to the Structure of

Modals.

Before you construct a sentence you

have to know first what is the structure
of modals so that you can prevent from
the incorrect usage of modal in a
sentence.

I posted the guide or structure of modal

on the board. Can you read, yes, Lanie?
 Subject Modal Main Complement
verb verb
As you can see in our simple sentences I go to sleep.
we did not notice that some of the words We must
that we are using is already a modal. They can drink some water.

Can anyone raise their observation about You should drink some food.
the structure of modal, yes, Unica. He may
She will some
do
It exercise.
Use the basic form or INFINITIVE of the
main verbs after the modal verbs.

You have a good observation!

As you can see our example for the
structure of modal is a simple sentence.
When we are going to say something
that we want to use modal it should be
follo0wed before the subject. While I notice that the modal words are usually
when you are throwing questions it is followed after the subject. While in our
awkward if we follow the structure of activity the question is always begins in
modal according to a simple sentence. modal words.
Are we clear now?

Let us now move on to the letter A.

a. Modal verbs do not add s or es to the
third person singular.
example:
 He can swim
 He cans swim

Also here are the different usage of Yes, Ma’am.

modals depending on what kind of
tenses you are going to construct.
Please read the two tenses, Andy.

Simple
I could work
He could work
It could work
And the third and fourth, yes, Angelica. They could work

Perfect
I could have worked
He could have worked
It could have worked
 They could have worked

Continuous
I could be working.
He could be working
As you can see the modal that we will
It could be working
use will be depending on what kind of
They could be working
sentences are we constructing.
I hope it is clear. Let us now move on to
letter B. Yes, Lovelyn?
Perfect continuous
I could have been working
He could have been working
It could have been working
They could have been working

As you can see modal verbs do not need

support or supplement to form a group b. Modal verbs don’t need auxiliaries to form
of sentences. negative and question.
Example:
c. Modal verbs don’t have infinitives or She should stay.
–ing forms. She doesn’t should stay
Example: She shouldn’t stay.
canning to might Why does she stay?
Why should she stay?
We do not need “ing” or “to”
