Yangiboyeva Marjona MODALS,ABILITY,PERMISSION,ADVICE CRITICISM Plan: 1- what are the modals of advice and criticisim. 2-what is the importance of learning modal verbs of permission 3- what is an example of permission Modal verbs are a part of the larger group called auxiliary verbs, which are verbs that can’t be used on their own. They need to used along with another (main) verb. The following are all modal verbs: can, could, may, might, must, shall, should, will, would. They provide additional information about the verb that follows them. Modal verbs are used to express ability, obligation, permission, possibility, make requests and offers, and give advice. They can have more than one meaning, which depends on the context they’re used in. ● You can go now (permission). ● I can play the guitar (ability). Structure of Modal Verbs Subject + modal verb + infinitive (without to) Modals are different from normal verbs: 1: They don't use an 's' for the third person singular. 2: They make questions by inversion ('she can go' becomes 'can she go?'). 3: They are followed directly by the infinitive of another verb (without 'to'). I can speak English (NOT: I can to speak English) He can speak Spanish (NOT: He can speaks Spanish) Modal Verbs in Negative Form Modal structures are made negative simply by adding “not” You mustn’t walk on the grass. He can’t speak Arabic Modal Verbs in Question Form Question forms are made with modals, by swapping the order of the subject and modal verb, so that the modal verb is first. Can I have another piece of cake please? Please note: the following uses are only some of the various ways the following modal verbs are used. Can and Could Ability We use 'can' and 'could' to talk about a skill or ability. Can refers to ability in the present and could refers to ability in the past. For example: She can speak six languages (present). My grandfather could play football really well when he was young (past). Asking for/Giving Permission Can and could are also used to ask for permission to do something. Could is more polite than can. Can I open the window? Could I borrow £10 from you? Can is used for giving permission (but not could). You can go to the party NOT - You could go to the party (mistake. This refers to a future possibility, not giving permission) Expressing a future possibility There is a chance that something is true or that there is a possibility of something happening. Note: might is used more frequently than may in spoken English, because may is very formal. I might go to the movies tonight (but I'm not sure). She might be late because of the public transport strike. Could is also be used to refer to a future possibility. I’m stuck in traffic. I could be late. To ask for/give permission May can be used to ask for and give permission in a very formal and polite way, however can and could are used more frequently than may in spoken English, because may is often too formal. Must is used to express obligation or duty, such as laws and regulations. You must carry your ID on you at all times in some countries. You must wear a seatbelt at all times. The structure have/has to + infinitive can also be used to refer to obligation, although this isn’t a modal verb. I have to wear a uniform to work. He has to pay his bills every month Must expresses obligation imposed by the speaker while have to expresses external obligation. Teacher: You must complete this essay by Friday Student: We have to complete this essay by Friday. When we want to refer to “no obligation” and that we have a choice we use “not have to” I don’t have to work at the weekend. She doesn’t have to register to vote. REMEMBER: Musn’t (must not) doesn’t refer to no obligation. Instead this means that something is prohibited. Mustn't = it is prohibited; it isn’t allowed Don't have to = no obligation; you aren’t required to do something We use should and ought to when we want to give people advice, or show that we think something is the right thing to do in the present and the future. Using the negative form shows that we think something is the wrong thing to do. The opposite is should not (shouldn’t) and ought not to. a)You should get more sleep. The less tired you are, the happier you will be. b)You ought not to drink so much alcohol. It is bad for your health. To talk about past behaviour, we use sb + should + have + past participle + ob, or ought to + have + past participle. c)He should not have told her what I said. It was a secret. d)They ought not to have sold the house without telling him first. To express an idea of permission, we use may, could and can. Long ago, we only used may to ask for permission, but nowadays we use can and could too. We tend to say can with the subject I, and could with the subjects you, we, they, he, she and it, because using the past form of can, could, is politer than using the present form. e)May I use your bathroom please? f)Could you help me with this for a minute? g)Can I go home early please? I am really tired. h)CouldI leave early today please? (politer) To talk about permission in the past, we don’t usually use a modal verb. Instead, we use was/were allowed to.The exception is when you use reported speech. i)We were allowed to stay until late. j)They said we couldstay until late. Choose the correct option for each sentence. Both may be possible. a)People should/ ought to be polite at all times. b)People shouldn’t/ ought to not test medicine on animals. c)Drivers should to have/should have passed their driving test before they drive without an instructor. d) I ought to have not/I ought notto have been so rude to her. After all, she is the Queen e)Can/May I borrow your car please? f)Can/Could you help me with my homework please? g)My father said I can/could invite all my friends to our house to watch the football. h)When I was a child, I could/was allowed to stay up late on a Friday night.
