2. Modals Language Objective: Today we will practice forming sentences using various modals. Modals: can could will would shall should may might must

3. Modals Parts of Speech: subject, verb, base verb, noun, pronoun, complement Application/Use: Modals are used to talk about ability, possibility, certainty, and advice. Modals are different from other verbs: They don’t take an –s, -ed, or –ing ending. Example: He can drive. (not: He cans drive.) We don’t use an infinitive after a modal. Example: He wants to leave. He must leave. In the negative form, put not after the model. Example: He should not drive Some verbs are like modals: have to, be able to He can pay the rent = He is able to pay the rent
