2: What five modal verbs do you know/remember?

Present tense: mv + verb

Something we know to be true:

 this is delicious.

Something that's possibly true:

Going to a Christmas market might be the best holiday activity ever.

Something we know isn't true:

A ten! That can't be right because I 

made a mistake.

p

Past tense: mv + have + past participle

Something we know was true:

You went bungeejumping? That must have been scary.

Something that was possibly true:

Sorry mom. I may have eaten the last piece of chocolate.

Something we know wasn't true:

You saw Ms. Dangerfield on The Voice? It couldn't have been her, she can't sing.

Read 'Lion on the loose in Essex?' and complete ex. 1- 4 alone and quietly on page 34.

• Next, rewrite the sentences (ex. 5) together with a neigbor.
• I'm sure it's a lion. --> must
• It must be a lion.
  

It's possible it escaped
from the zoo. (might)

Perhaps it is very hungry
by now. (could)

Perhaps it was
somebody's pet. (may)

I'm sure it isn't a lion.
(can't)

Guess what?
