Possibility - Might

Permission - May

Obligation - Must

Advice - Should

Need - have to

Rules

Modals are followed by the base form of the verb.

Correct: "She can dance."

Incorrect: "She can dances."

No -s, -ed, or -ing is added to the modal itself.

Correct: "He should go."

Incorrect: "He should goes."

Rules

Negative form: Add "not" after the modal.

He can run

He can NOT run

Which modal verb portrays obligation?

1. Must
2. Can
3. May
4. Might

Quantifiers

Quantifiers denote quantity

They are specific to situations, so context is important

Countable nouns

If your noun is countable, use quantifiers such as "a few", "many", "several", and "both"

You know it is countable if you can say:

I have two apples

I have many apples

Non-countable nouns

If your noun is NOT countable, use quantifiers such as "a little", "much", "some", and "a lot of" 

You know it is NOT countable if you CANNOT say:

I have two hair

I have a lot of hair

Which quantifier should you use in this sentence: I need ____ sugar

1. Many
2. Several
3. All of the
4. A little bit of

Negatives and questions

When you have nothing or are asking a question, use any

I do not have any sugar

Do you have any?

In this case, the context is clear so the noun does not need to be repeated, otherwise, state what you are asking about.

Prepositions

Prepositions are used to show time and place

Time

On - days, dates

I have work on Monday

In - parts of the day, months seasons, years

My birthday is in November

At - specific times, holidays

We're eating at 1PM 

I'll see my family at Christmas

Place

On - surfaces, public transport (kind of), roads, streets, rivers

I am on the train

If you can stand in the vehicle, you are on it

In - general places, cities, countries, things inside a space

I am  in hospital, I was born in England

At - specific locations

You're at school
