HAVO 3 Modals may / might / be allowed to

• Engels
• Middelbare school
• havo
• Leerjaar 3

Goals (doelen)for this lesson:

- I know how to use modals may, might, be allowed to

may vs might

1. may / might + hele werkwoord om toestemming te vragen of zeggen dat iets niet is toegestaan. 'may' is mogen en 'might' is zou mogen.

2. may / might + hele werkwoord kunnen ook gebruikt worden om te zeggen dat iets mogelijk gaat gebeuren. Hierbij is might minder waarschijnlijk of hypotetisch.

be allowed to

1. be allowed to + hele werkwoord om te zeggen dat iets (niet) is toegestaan volgens de regels.

May - might

may + hele werkwoord = present (enkel tegenwoordige tijd)

might + hele werkwoord = past (enkel verleden tijd)

to be allowed to + hele werkwoord = alle tijden mogelijk

Je vervoegt "to be" in de desbetreffende tijd.
