IV. PROCEDURES
A. Review/Introductory The teacher will ask the class: “What are modals?” After consolidating the answer of
Activity the class, the teacher will then give the definition of modals.
- According to Grammarly, Modals are auxiliary verbs (helping verbs) used to
express certain hypothetical conditions, such as advice, capability, or requests
(there’s a full list in the next section). They’re used alongside a main verb to change
its meaning slightly. Because they’re auxiliary verbs, they can’t necessarily be used
on their own.
The teacher will then present sentences. He/she will then ask the class to identify
the modals they can find in each sentence.
4. The patient must take his medicines for his heart ailment. (Must)
Mr. Flores: You may. Can you close the door for me?
Mr. Flores: Joseph, please get your book, so you and I will review on
modals for your exam. You must learn how to use them.
Mr. Flores: You must not forget to bring your book. You shall bring it
tomorrow.
Mr. Flores: We will use my book. You must be ready when we start the
review. Please get your notebook and pen. By the way, you cannot use
Joseph: Yes, Mr. Flores. Anyway, you may not teach me until 12:00 in

Modals of Permission are modals used in asking and in giving permission.
lesson where the
concepts are clarified Can, could, and may are modals of permission.
- The modal of permission Can is used to ask permission in an informal way. This
can be used in day-to-day conversations or in informal speech.
You can bring your toys at the picnic tomorrow. (A mother giving permission to
her child)
- The modal of permission Could is used to ask permission in a less informal way.
Could is more polite than Can. This can be used in informal speech or
conversations.
Ex. Mr. Reyes, could you pass these documents to the office? (A worker to a co-
worker)
- The modal of permission May is used to ask permission in a formal way. This can
be used in formal speech or formal written text.
May I know your name, Ma’am? (Asking for someone’s name formally)
Modals of Obligation
- This modal has two usages: to express a firm obligation or necessity (must, will,
& have to)
Ex:
• You have to wear mask at all times. (The pandemic is still upon us, therefore it is
a necessity for a masked to be worn at all times. The modal “have to” was used
in the sentence to put emphasis for the action as an obligation)
The modals “have to” and “must” have equal value and usage. They can be used
interchangeably. However, “must” is commonly used in everyday conversation
because of conciseness.
• Harry will come to the party tonight. (The speaker is telling that Harry will come
to the party tonight indefinitely. The modal “will” was used to show strong
determination that the action will be done in the near future.
Ex:
• You should go home now. (The speaker urges someone to go home, however
he/she is not obligated to follow the speaker’s advice. The modal should was
used to show that the action was a recommendation.)
Note: Ruling tells us that the modal “should” be used if the speaker is not quite sure
of a positive answer.
• You ought to tell mom about your secret. (The speaker urges someone to tell
his/her secret, however it is not obligatory for the person to follow what the
speaker had said. The modal ought to was used to show that the action was a
recommendation.)
• The children shall help their parents. (The sentence tells us that the action will
be done soon. The modal ”shall” was used to show that the action will be done
in the near future, however it does not entail that the doer of the action has
strong determination in doing the action.
• Shall we go for a dance? ( The speaker asked someone for a dance. He/she is
quite sure of a positive answer with the request. The modal “shall” was used in
the sentence as it is a polite suggestion.
⮚ Ruling tells us that the modal “shall” be used if the speaker is quite sure
of a positive answer.
⮚ Shall is only used with I or we. It is used instead of will only in formal
English
Modals of Obligation
- This modal has two usages: to express a firm obligation or necessity (must,
will, & have to)
Ex:
● You have to wear mask at all times. (The pandemic is still upon us,
therefore it is a necessity for a masked to be worn at all times. The
modal “have to” was used in the sentence to put emphasis for the
action as an obligation)
⮚ The modals “have to” and “must” have equal value and usage.
They can be used interchangeably. However, “must” is
commonly used in everyday conversation because of
conciseness.
● Harry will come to the party tonight. (The speaker is telling that Harry
will come to the party tonight indefinitely. The modal “will” was used to
show strong determination that the action will be done in the near
future.
- and to express a recommendation or moral obligation (shall, should, &
ought to).
Ex:
● You ought to tell mom about your secret. ( The speaker urges someone
to tell his/her secret, however it is not obligatory for the person to
follow what the speaker had said. The modal ought to was used to show
that the action was a recommendation.)
● The children shall help their parents. (The sentence tells us that the
action will be done soon. The modal ”shall” was used to show that the
action will be done in the near future, however it does not entail that
the doer of the action has strong determination in doing the action.
Ex.
- Examples of modals of prohibition are: must not, cannot, and may not.
- Must not is used for prohibitions that are stated from law, fact, or rule.
Elize may not enter the house. The dogs hate her.
D. Abstraction
The teacher will divide the class into 3 groups. Each group will be assigned to modals
of obligation, modals of prohibition, and modals of permission, respectively. They
will be given 10 mins to read the passage with the group and find the models
assigned to them. On the board, the teacher will draw the table found on page 8 of
the module. He/she will then let the students write their answers on the table.
Task 2. Read the passage below. Write the sentences which contain a modal
Lena was invited to attend Marie’s birthday party. “Mom, can I go to Marie’s
birthday party?” Lena asked her mom. “Yes, Lena. You may attend Marie’s birthday
party. But you should be home by 9 pm,” answered her mom. “Also, you should not
drink alcoholic beverages at the party,” her mom added. “Yes, mom. I shall follow
your instructions. I will go to Marie’s house now,” Lena replied.
At the party, Lena was having so much fun. She was happy to be with Marie and her
other friends. Lena enjoyed eating and drinking the food served at the party. She
especially loved the fruit juice given to the party guests. Lena enjoyed it so much
that she was not able to keep track of the time.
“Marie, could you open the window? I suddenly felt dizzy,” uttered Lena.
“Oh, Lena! Have you been drinking the fruit punch at the table? That punch was
mixed with liquor!” exclaimed Marie.
“You can sit here; the seat is free. You wait here. I will ask my dad to drive you
home,” said Marie. After a while, Marie’s father approached Lena. “Lena, dear, I will
drive you home. Shall we go?” said Marie’s father.
Upon arriving home, Lena’s mother expressed her disappointment on her daughter.
“Lena, haven’t I told you to be here by 9 pm?! It’s half past 10 pm already, and you
reek of liquor!” “You are grounded young lady! You cannot go out of the house for a
week! You can’t use your phone either,” said Lena’s mother. Lena regretted not
heeding her mother’s words. “I should have followed what my mom told me,” said
Lena to herself.
E. Generalization The teacher then asks his/her students what they have understood so far from the
lesson. The teacher will also ask the learners why it is important to know modals of
obligation, permission, and prohibition and its practical uses to the learners’
everyday life.
