    The key takeaways are that modals are auxiliary verbs that indicate attitudes towards states or events expressed by other verbs, and there are nine main modal auxiliary verbs that are used to show abilities, possibilities, permissions, necessities and other meanings.

    Modals are auxiliary verbs that indicate attitudes towards states or events expressed by other verbs. There are two forms: modal auxiliary verbs and semi-modals. The text focuses on nine modal auxiliary verbs and discusses their uses which include ability, possibility, probability, permission, advisability, necessity, requesting assistance, making conclusions, giving instructions, making suggestions, showing preference and more.

    The nine modal auxiliary verbs discussed are: can, could, may, might, shall, should, must, will, and would.

    Modals

    Competency:
    Oral communication and written communication
    Assessment Technique
    Cooperative learning, group work, lecture

    Objectives:
    At the end of the lesson, the students shall be able to:
     Identify modals and understand the meaning of each modal verb
     Clarify and restate information from a selection
     Demonstrate an ability to reason deductively using modal forms

    Materials
     Workbook in Grammar Through Text Types, 3rd Year, High School Edition,
    pp. 25-26

    Procedure:

    • Greeting the class and checking attendance.

    • Motivation
    The pre-service teachers will start the class by reviewing last topic. Then the
    class will be divided into five (5) groups. Each group will be given two workbooks
    for the activity. The PST will read a selection from the workbook given, THE
    TWO FROGS, and will ask the groups to answer the following questions after the
    selection in a ½ crosswise sheet of paper for 10 minutes. After the allotted time,
    papers will be collected.

    • Discussion Proper
    Ask the students what is a modal. The PST will say that a modal is defined as
    any of the auxiliary verbs which indicate attitudes of the speaker/writer towards

    1
    the state or event expressed by another verb. Although there are two forms of
    modals, the modal auxiliary verbs and the semi-modals, I will be focusing on the
    nine modal auxiliary verbs in this class. The nine modal auxiliary verbs are: can,
    could, may, might, shall, should, must, will, and would.
    The following also will be explained in class: Uses of Modals and different
    kinds of meaning. The PST will explain that the modals can, could, will, would,
    shall, should, may, might and must are used to show the following meanings:
    ability, possibility probability permission advisability, necessity, requesting
    assistance making conclusions, giving instructions, making suggestions, showing
    preference making offers, making promises or predictions and modals and will
    explain what each modal means by giving examples. The PST will explain the
    difference between each modal.

    Evaluation
    After twenty or twenty five minute of explaining the modal students will
    work in the same group and will identify what kinds of modals are underlined in
    the selection read, The Two Frogs, page 25 on the workbook. Group work will be
    done with the purpose to consult each other. Therefore if there is a doubt about
    something in the workbook or about the modals they can consult each other or
    the PSTs.

    Assignment
    Students need to find more example of how modals are used for giving or
    receiving instructions, making suggestions and showing preferences at home
    that night. Then they should list down instructions using modals that can be seen
    in any place.
