Hello everyone! Welcome back to “Learning English with Lucy”
Today, I have a grammar video for everyone
I know it’s been a long time since I did it
Since a grammar video, but many people
Asked to make a modal verb video, so
This is it. Today I want to introduce everyone
Modal verbs. I want to introduce modal verbs
Rules, how to use, when to use them.
Please be sure to note that there are many
Different situations need
Use different modal verbs, and
I can’t finish them all
So this is just an introduction
I hope you finish this lesson
Can be more comfortable
Use modal verbs. Then start it
First of all, what modal verbs?
They are a word class called “auxiliary verbs”
A small class, these verbs will give
Other verbs add some meaning.
Modal verbs are special because they follow
A set of strict rules, how to use them
It is also very special. I want to talk to you today
Nine modal verbs. Don’t put them
Confused with “half modal verbs”
Because they only need to follow some rules of the modal verb.
Okay, if I invite you to tell me now
Can these nine modal verbs be spoken?
If you can speak it out
That’s great, but if you can’t say it
I have a very simple method
Remember them, that is: three M, two W
Two C, and two S. So when you
Write them down in this way
Make it easier to remember them all
Look at the three Ms, which are must,
Might and may, then two W, will
And would, the next two C, can and could
Then there are two S:shall and must
Remember that will and should are a bit special
In spoken and informal languages
They can be abbreviated and will be written
Two “L”, i will be written as i’ll,ould
It can be written as a letter D, so
She would write she’d. most
Modal verbs express different meanings
Depends on the context
So you must
Think of a sentence or problem as an understanding
overall
Today I will help you understand this. Later
In the video we talked about
Different meanings of each modal verb
But first, we need
Learn about these rules,
How can I use it? I can’t use it
Without these rules, you will find
Modal verbs are difficult
But the good news is that all these
The rules apply to nine modal verbs
That’s all we have in this class.
Rule 1: Verb Infinitive Appears in
After the modal verb but not to, so
We can say: I may eat pizza.
I can play football. Rule 2: Modal verbs
Sole third person does not add s
She must leave. Or: It may
occur.
Rule 3: Modal verbs will not
As the tense changes, so
They are not past styles, nor are they
In the future, they will remain unchanged. and so
The simple way to remember them is: Modal verbs
No deformation, they are always prototype.
Rule 4: We are at
Using modal verbs in negative sentences
It is the same as other auxiliary verbs.
There is no “do” so we use it in negative sentences
The sentence patterns of modal verbs are:
Subject + modal verb + not + verb
Let’s look at some examples: you must not
Eat my food
You can’t eat my food. Or: I can not
Speak French
I can’t speak French. So it is always
Word Order
Just like other auxiliary verbs
Now, remember, you must learn modal verbs
Negative form of abbreviations
They are often spoken or spoken
Informal communication: might, might not
Mightn’t;must,must not,mustn’t; may,may not,
No abbreviated form.
Can,cannot,can’t;could,could not,
Couldn’t;will,will not,won’t;would,would
Not,wouldn’t;shall,shall not,shan’t;
Should, should not, shouldn’t.
Well, these are negated
Abbreviated form. Rule 5:
Knowing Rule 4 is simple
In the interrogative sentence, modal verbs
The usage is the same as other auxiliary verbs
Modal verb + subject + verb. E.g:
Can you help me
Can you help me? Will you let him
Will you agree with him? Here are the rules. just now
Let’s take a look at these one by one
