What do you mean by modals?
From our previous lesson, study how the writer could have said his feelings for her
teacher as you read the sentences that follow. Pay attention to the underlined verbs
and verb phrases.
Very good!
How about in the second sentence; what is
the use of could?
Very good!
Read the following sentences under letter
B.
B. 1) I wish I may be able to see you
again, to thank you for everything.
2) I might have been wayward had it
not been for
your influence on me.
In sentence 1 and 2 under B, the sentences
also express possibility using may and
might. Is there any difference in the way
they are used?
Good!
What modals are used in sentences under
B, class?
Very good!
What do you mean by possibility?
Very good!
Notice, too, that expressing choices make
use of modal
Very good!
Read the next key points, class.
Might is used to:
a) Mean something less likely than may
Example: He might win the race.
b) Be more polite than may when asking
permission
Example: Might I see your payment,
sir?
Might is used to mean something less
likely than may.
When do we use the modal might, class?
Look at this example, He might win the
race. What does this sentence indicates
class, since might is use to mean
something less likely than may?
What is the other use of might, class?
In this example, Might I see your payment,
sir? What is the modal in this sentence?
Very good!
