FIRST CLASS:

FOCUS4 Unit 4 pp 58 & 158 = 4.5: Grammar: Present and past modal constructions 

modal verb = hulpwerkwoord

                                            Present and past modal structures

The present

To give advice, express necessity or lack of necessity, we use:

        modal verbs should/shouldn't and ought to/oughtn't to:

You should/ought to eat more fruit and vegetables.

You shouldn't/oughtn't to spend so much money on clothes.

       modal verb must/mustn't:

You must try that spa – it's really wonderful!

You mustn't spoil her.

        verb need to/needn't:

You need to have the receipt if you want to return the dress.

I can hear you, you needn't shout.

        the structure had better/had better not:

You'd better check the price online before you buy a phone here.

You'd better not be late this time.

The past                                 Present and past modal structures

        To say that something was or wasn't necessary, we use had to/didn't have to:

Ella's car broke down, so she had to take a taxi.

There was nobody at the desk, but luckily I didn't have to wait long.

       To express regret or criticism about something that happened or didn't happen, or to give advice, we use ought (not) to/should (not) + have + Past Participle: We should have booked/ought to have booked a different hotel. This one is terrible.

My parents shouldn't have sold/oughtn't to have sold their camper van.

       To say that an action was not necessary, we can also use didn't need to + infinitive or needn't have + Past Participle. There is a difference in meaning:

I didn't need to cook dinner for the children yesterday because they were away. (So I didn't cook it.) - I needn't have cooked dinner for the children yesterday because they weren't hungry and didn't touch anything. (I cooked it but didn't have to.)         The modal verb must and the structure had better are not used in the past.

Listen to James talking to his sister Ellie. What is James's problem?

What is James's problem?

Choose the advice that Ellie gives:

1   You  shouldn't / should  buy her clothes.

2   With a bracelet you  need to / needn't  worry about giving the

      wrong message.

3  You  ought to /  ought not to  get her concert tickets in advance.

4  You  mustn't /  must  buy her the same perfume as Mum.

5  You  had better / had better not  ask her friends for advice.

What reasons does Ellie give:

1   You  should[n't] buy her clothes.  ............................................

2   With a bracelet you  need [not] to worry about giving the

      wrong message.  ............................................

3  You  ought [not] to  get her concert tickets in advance.  .............

4  You  must[n't]  buy her the same perfume as Mum.  ...................

5  You  had better [not]  ask her friends for advice.  ..........................

Write the sentences with the negative form of the words in brackets:

1   You  (should) leave present buying till the last minute.  

2  You (ought to) buy a present unless you are sure about it.

3  You (must) give your credit card details to a stranger.

4  You (need to) check if you can take the item back.

5  You (had better) remember your dad's birthday this year!

Write down whether you agree with the advice and why?

1   You should leave present buying till the last minute.  .................

2  You ought only buy a present when you are sure about it. ........

3   You must never give your credit card details to a stranger.  .....

4  You need to check if you can take the item back.  ....................

5  You had better remember your dad's birthday this year!  ......

Listen to a second conversation between James and Ellie. Did James choose a good birthday present for his girlfriend?

Did James choose a good birthday present for his girlfriend?

Read the conversation between James (J) and Ellie (E):

E:  How was the birthday?

J:  Oh, a bit of a disaster actually. I should have listened to your advice, but I didn't. I got a bracelet. I thought it was such a bargain – €15 for a gold bracelet. I ought to have asked if it was real gold.

E:  You should have realised you couldn't get real gold for €15. But anyway, didn't she like it?

J:  She's allergic to metal – she can only wear real gold. She put it on and got a big rash on her arm. We had to go to the doctor's.

E:  Oh dear, did you have to take the bracelet back?

J:  Yes, but I needn't have bothered. They refused to exchange it because I didn't have the receipt. Here you are – you can have it.

E:  Ooh, thanks!

Complete the GRAMMAR FOCUS with the past modal structures in blue from the previous (vorige) conversation:

You can use should/shouldn't have + Past Participle (voltooid deelwoord) or ought to/ought not to have + Past Participle to criticise a past action or show regret.

I 1should have listened to your advice.

I 2  ................  if it was real gold.

You use had to/didn't have to + infinitive (hele werkwoord) to say a past action was necessary / unnecessary.

We 3  ................  to the doctor's.

You can also use didn't need to + infinitive or needn't have + Past Participle to say a past action was unnecessary. There is a difference in meaning:

I didn't need to bother = I didn't bother, because it wasn't necessary: 

I 4  .........................................   = I bothered, but it wasn't necessary.

 I  2 ................ if it was real gold.

We 3 ................ to the doctor's.

I 4 ......................................... = I bothered, but it wasn't necessary.
