Welcome!

I hope you all had a good holiday!

Please login to the lesson up before we start.

Today

1st hour: Of Course -> Auxiliary/modal verbs (moeten en willen)

2nd hour: Practice speaking

Lesson goals: At the end of this class you will be able to explain what modal verbs are and use them in a sentence.

At the end of the class you will be able to use verbs signalling "moeten en willen" in a sentence.

How?

By listening to an explanation and doing some questions together.

Modal verbs

• Does anyone know what modal verbs are?
  
• What if I say that they are words that can show ability, permission, advice, obligation or a possibility? What words come to mind?
• Can you spot the modal verb in the sentence?
• I can help her

Modal verbs: Can/could/be able to

• You can use can/could/be able to when you have a the ability to do something:

"I can help help her/I could help her/I was able to help her. "

• You can also use can/could when something is possible:

"I can be cold in here"

"It could rain tomorrow"

•  You can use could have when something was possible in the past, but it did not happen:

"You could have phoned me"

Modal verbs: Be allowed/may/might

• You can use be allowed, may and might to show or ask for permission.

"I'm allowed to buy a new bike"

"You may look around"

"Might I open the window?

• May and might can also signal possibility.

"What he says may be true" and "He might be at home"

• You can use might have for something that could have been possible in the past but that did not happen

"You might have fallen!"

Modal verbs: Must/have (got) to and should

• Must, have (got) to and should can signal obligation.

• Must and have (got) to are strong, almost like an order:

" I must do my homework" and "You have (got) to do your homework"

• Should is not as strong and can also be used for giving advice:

"I should do my homework"

• Must can also be used for a logical result:

"You must be very ill" " He must have forgotten"

Auxiliaries: want, make, would like, mind, willing

• These verbs all show to some degree that you want something.
• For an assignment or an order you can use want somebody to + infinitive or make somebody + infinitive:
•  "He wanted me to write a letter"
• "He always makes me work hard"
• Make is stronger, it is done by force.
  

Auxiliaries: would like

•  You can use would like + infinitive for a friendly request:

• "I would like you to come, too."

• "Where would you like us to meet?"

Auxiliaries: Mind + Willing

•  You can use the verbs to mind and be willing when you are okay to do something.
  
• Mind + verb + ing: I don't mind helping you

• Or as a question: Do you mind getting that for me?

• Be willing to + infinitive: She is willing to help.
  
• Or as a question: Are they willing to help us?

Pff that is a lot of information!

•  This might seem difficult, but you will probably be able to do this already, so we will do some questions from of course together.
  

What to do?

You get a sentence:

I started to dread arithmatic back in the third grade because I ... (wilde niet) to memorise the multiplication tables.

Step 1: Read the sentence.

Step 2: Which verb do I need?

Step 3: Which tense is the sentence in?

Step 4: Fill in the correct form.

One more

I ... (wilde best, use: to mind) learning how to read, but studying maths seemed to have no purpose...

Step 1: Read

Step 2: Verb?

Step 3: Tense

Step 4: Fill in and check

Your turn: "The alphabet was a wonderful code, which I ... (hoefde niet) work hard for to memorise"

Now you are all set!

•  Finish exercise 16.
  
• You have until 08:55
• If you still think this is difficult I can do some more questions together with you!
  
• Done? Work on the powerpoint of your presentation.
