00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,929

2
00:00:11,929 --> 00:00:14,210
assistant mr. Charles and just put

3
00:00:14,210 --> 00:00:17,570
myself over here to a little corner so

4
00:00:17,570 --> 00:00:20,690
you might see my thought or should we

5
00:00:20,690 --> 00:00:24,170
say the topic of the day as well it's

6
00:00:24,170 --> 00:00:31,789
going to be modal verbs hope you guys

7
00:00:31,789 --> 00:00:34,750
can understand my handwriting right in

8
00:00:34,750 --> 00:00:42,929
might suck so first of all guys how about we start with the basics in other words

9
00:00:42,929 --> 00:00:55,939
how is it that modal verse function if i say i exercise okay i exercise i'm not really

10
00:00:55,939 --> 00:01:04,480
say much before i mean besides the fact that i might exercise sometimes okay the second thing

11
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:13,180
that I want to remind you, okay, is that these verbs, they don't use an s, all right, at

12
00:01:13,180 --> 00:01:20,319
the end for the third person singular, use an s, okay, so be a no-no for the ss, okay,

13
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:34,099
in third person singular for modal verbs, third person singular, okay, let's remember

14
00:01:34,099 --> 00:01:41,780
that just some a little bit of a little bit more basic rules of how they're used

15
00:01:41,780 --> 00:01:47,540
so as I have said guys in this other page that I have open we're going to be

16
00:01:47,540 --> 00:01:54,799
taking a look at the different types or modalities or uses that we have for

17
00:01:54,799 --> 00:02:02,579
modal verbs code as a modal verb oh there we see can make filling up for

18
00:02:02,579 --> 00:02:09,620
that function of asking for permission could can also be using that way as well okay in this case

19
00:02:09,620 --> 00:02:15,919
she says could i open the window actually that is a question that you guys ask us a lot especially

20
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:23,840
since the heaters are always broken and it's always so hot okay then she also has may very

21
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:30,759
important right for permission may i borrow your dictionary may i go to the restroom i'm trying to

22
00:02:30,759 --> 00:02:39,500
give advice. And the typical example is should, as we can see over here, right? Harris says,

23
00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:46,500
you should visit your dentist at least twice a year. You should visit your dentist at least

24
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:52,479
twice a year. Now, the next one is obligation, okay? As we can see here, obligation, must

25
00:02:52,479 --> 00:02:56,900
and have to, right? These are famous ones. I'm pretty sure you guys remember them. You

26
00:02:56,900 --> 00:03:02,699
have to take off your shoes before you get into the mosque, all right, I did not know

27
00:03:02,699 --> 00:03:06,979
this, I actually have just learned that, I have never been to a mosque, but at least

28
00:03:06,979 --> 00:03:13,659
now we have learned, right, thanks to Mimi's example, that you have to, meaning it's not

29
00:03:13,659 --> 00:03:20,000
optional, it's not a choice, okay, it's an obligation to take off your shoes before you

30
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,080
enter a mosque, alright, and then our last

31
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,080
most typical example, okay, of how we use modal verbs

32
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,199
is to express possibility, alright, to that point we use

33
00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:36,259
might, may, could, and can, so you can see

34
00:03:36,259 --> 00:03:40,060
many of these verbs can be used interchangeably between

35
00:03:40,060 --> 00:03:43,780
their different types, right, and the first one

36
00:03:43,780 --> 00:03:47,960
says, it looks nice, but it might be very

37
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,099
expensive, okay, so she's saying, hey, whatever it is that you're

38
00:03:52,099 --> 00:03:55,919
trying to buy, okay, looks real nice, the next example is

39
00:03:55,919 --> 00:03:59,379
also expresses possibility, right, Richard may be coming

40
00:03:59,379 --> 00:04:04,120
to see us tomorrow, okay, she's saying that there's a possibility

41
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,340
that Richard, let's say that's her friend, her friend Richard

42
00:04:07,340 --> 00:04:10,620
could come tomorrow, okay

43
00:04:10,620 --> 00:04:14,039
but she's not sure
