Theme 4: Grammar

Modals (might, may, could, have to, enz.)

Modals

Ken je al:                       Nieuw bij deze grammar:
can                                   ought to
could                               may

be able to                      might

must                                + ontkenningen maken

have to

should

New modals

Ought to: 
- is used to talk about things that are ideal or desired.

- similar to 'should', because both are about giving advice

- should is more subjective. Ought to is more formal. 

'You should listen to her new album.'

'She ought to pay her parking tickets.'

New Modals

May / Might:
- are used when you are unsure about something
   'We may take the train to Berlin.'
- are used to ask for and give permission

- may is more formal than can and could and might is even
   more formal
   'May I leave the classroom?'

Negatives

To make a negative you can place not or n't after the modal. 

can't / couldn't / shouldn't / mustn't
