Teacher’s name: HaitamHleihil • Grade : 9 “2” • School : Segev shalom high school • Subject : modals & semi-modals
Here are some of the modals & semi-modals could can should might may Be able to have to must
Use • We use modals and semi-modals to add meaning to the verb. • We use can/couldto add meaning of: 1) ability: I run fast I can run fast 2) permission: you can invite your friend. • Could is the past form of can : I couldrun fast when I was young. • We use must to talk about obligation : I must go to school everyday.
We use may to add meaning of : 1) possibility: it may rain later today. 2) permission: you may use my phone. • We use might to add meaning of possibility: we might go out later today. • We use should to add meaning of suggestion: you should study more
Form Modals behave the same with all of the pronouns: I You can/could We may/might They should He must She It
Modals are always followed by a verb in its base formand come after the subject. Rule: subject modal verb in base form EXAMPLES: He canspeakEnglish vs. He speaks English You maygo out. She maytake the book to school. They shoulddotheir homework. We mustwake up early.
Negative form 2. We use "not“ after the modal to make negativeform. EXAMPLES:He should notbe late.They might notcome to school. I cannoteat any more cakes.
3. Many modal verbs cannot be used in the past tenses or the future tenses. EXAMPLES: He will can go with us. WRONG She must studied very hard. WRONG
Semi-modals • Many modals cannot be used in all of the English tenses. That's why we need to know their meaning and the substitute for these modal verbs.
Be able to We use this semi-modal to express: • ability • Permission use: We use “be able to” in the past, present and future tense.
present Positive: I amabletowalk. Negative: I am not able to walk. Yes/no question: Are you able to walk? Wh-question: When are you able to walk?
past positive: I was able to run. Negative:I was not able to run. Yes/No question: Were you able to run? Wh-question: Why were you able to run?
future • Positive: I will be able to run fast. • Negative: I will not be able to run fast. • Yes/no question: will you be able to run? • Wh-question: whywill you be able to run?
have to - has to had to – will have to = it is necessary =shows obligation and giving advice. have to/has to –in the present/near future had to –in the past will have to –in the future
Present I You have to We don’t have to They He She has to It doesn’thave to *Don’t have to/doesn’t have to: it’s not necessary
