Grammar: modals & semi-modals
Modals & semi-modals are 'helping' (auxiliary) verbs used to express notions such as ability, permission, possibility, necessity, obligation, advice, suggestion, or prediction. You will encounter most of them in Grammar hand-out 2. Today we will look at & revise the modals:
  • must/mustn't
  • ought to & should
  • will & would

Slide 13 - Slide

must/mustn't
  • must is used to express obligations: You must do exactly what the exam questions ask you to do.
    The past form of 'must' in this case is had to: We had to write two essays on last week's test.
  • musn't is used to express prohibition: You musn't talk during the exam.

  • must can also be used to make deductions from evidence & express certainty: That must be John coming up the steps, I recognize his footsteps!
    The past form here is must have + past participle: The train is late, the heavy snow must have caused delays.
    The future form is must be going to + infinitive: They bought lots of paint, they must be going to decorate.
  • must & mustn't are used to give strong advice: You mustn't give up hope!
  • must & mustn't are used to make recommendations: You must see this film, it's brilliant!
  • must & mustn't are used to talk about strong necessity: We must go or we'll miss the train.

Slide 14 - Slide

ought to & should
These are used to say the following: 







The past forms are ought to have + past participle & should have + past participle: You ought to have/ should have told us you were coming.

Slide 15 - Slide

will & would
  • these are used to make polite invitations and requests. Would is the more polite form: Will/Would you sit here, please?
  • will/won't are used to describe habits and characteristic behaviour. If will is stressed, it indicated irritation with or a negative opinion of the habit: He will watch TV all evening. He won't talk for hours.
  • would/wouldn't are used to talk about past habits and characteristics. If would is  stressed, it indicated irritation with or a negative opinion of the habit: Every evening she would sit int he garden reading her newspaper. She wouldn't stop until she'd read every page.
