What do you already know about choosing the right modal verbs and quantifiers?

Learning Objectives

At the end of the lesson you can choose the correct modal verbs (will, shall, going to; must, have to, should) and use some/any and their variations.

What Are Modal Verbs?

Modal verbs help us express ability, possibility, obligation, and choices. Today, we focus on will, shall, going to, must, have to, and should.

Will, Shall, Going to: Introduction

These modals talk about the future. But they are not always interchangeable. Can you spot the difference?

Will vs Going to

Going to

We use 'will' for decisions made now, promises, or offers. E.g. "I will help you."

Will

We use 'going to' for planned actions or predictions based on what we see. E.g. "I am going to visit London."

Will vs Shall

Shall

Will

'Will' is common for all subjects for promises or decisions.

'Shall' is mainly used with "I" or "we" for offers or suggestions in formal English. E.g. "Shall we dance?"

Let’s Practise: Will / Shall / Going to

Complete this: "I ___ (help) you with your bags." (Decided now)

Answers: Will, Shall, or Going to?

Check your answers and discuss: Why did you choose each modal?

Must, Have to, Should: Introduction

These words show obligation, advice, or necessity. Learn when to use each one.

Must vs Have to

Use for strong personal necessity. E.g. "I must study tonight."

Have to

Use for external obligation (rules, law). E.g. "You have to wear a uniform at school."

Some / Any: Introduction

'Some' and 'any' and their variations help us talk about quantity. They have special rules for negatives, questions, and offers.

Some vs Any

Use in positive sentences and offers. E.g. "I have some friends."
