CUT TO ANCHOR 1
(Voice over along with the text on screen highlighting the underlined
words/phrases)
• Good Morning, Friends. You have just watched two visuals on
the screen. You must have noticed that a number of auxiliaries
were used by the speakers during their conversation. But they
were not doing the work of auxiliaries. They were used to
express the mode of action denoted by the verb. They are called
MODALS. Modals are a special kind of helping verb that do not
show tense and do not follow subject/verb agreement. Today’s
topic of our discussion is MODALS. But before proceeding
further we need to revise ‘principal ‘verbs, ‘helping verbs’, and
‘auxiliaris’. This will make our learning objectives more clear to
you and you will understand ‘modals’ better.
• Main Verbs are those words, without which no sentence is
complete. Eg . is, are, was , has, have ,had etc.
Use: He Vinay.(wrong) We books.(wrong)
He is Vinay. ( Right.) We have books.(right.)
I a small bell.( wrong.) She a box.(wrong)
I have a small bell.(right.) She has a box.(right.)
• Helping verbs’or’ Modal Auxiliaries’ are those words which are
used to supplement
The correct use of the main ‘action word’ or ‘verb’. The sentence
sounds wrong without the use of these ‘helping verbs’
-3-
4. PES/ENG/IX/014
Eg. am, being, did.
Use: He climbing the wall.(wrong) I not eating food.(wrong)
He is climbing the wall.(right.) I am not eating food.(right)
These girls rewarded for doing well.(wrong)
These girls are being rewarded for doing well.(right.)
I not do this.(wrong) This book read by you?(wrong)
I did not do this.(right) Has this book been read by you?(right)
MAIN LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
(Voice over as per screen text to appear one by one)
It is desired that after discussing about modals in detail our students shall
be able:
• To differentiate between Modals and helping verbs when they are
used in sentences,
• To make use of appropriate modals to denote the mode of an action
in a sentence,
• To understand that modals are always followed by the present
form of the main verb,
• To understand that modals do not change according to the number
or person of the subject as is the case with the helping verbs.
• To use correct modal to express request, command, possibility,
permission, ability, determination etc.
NOTE: All the auxiliary verbs except ‘be’, ‘do’, and ‘have’ are used
as modals. Modal Auxiliaries are:
can, could, may, might, will, would, shall, should must, ought to,
need, used to, dare

the mode of action expressed by the main verb. Let us discuss them
one by one:

But we have not finished the topic as yet.. There are still a few more modals
about which we shall discuss in the next episode. I hope, this episode has
given you a clear picture as to how, under different conditions, particular
modals are used.
But before we say ‘good bye’ to you, here is an interesting classroom
game, which will make you practice the ’modals’ that you have learnt
today.Your Teacher will guide you while playing the game.
Name of the game-----------‘SPINNING IDEAS.’

How to play the Game: Divide the class into Two teams.Let them
be named as Team A and Team B.Put both the team members into
PAIRS. Each team should keep a player as score recorder and
another member as time regulator, who will regulate the time of
the team.

13. PES/ENG/IX/014
Team ‘A’ and Team’ B’ take turns in spinning the dice and to
know the modal they have to use along with the corresponding
situation written for the same number in the situation circle..
Eg. If the dice has shown 4 then the modal for the pair of students
is ’have to’ and the corresponding situation is ‘In the Library.’
Now they will make as many sentences they can using the given
situation and the corresponding modal, In a time that is decided by the
teacher.
Eg. We have to be quiet in the Library.
In the Library we have to read the books.
When coming out of the library, we have to issue the books.
In this way, both the teams take turns, alternatively, till all the pairs
have got a chance.The score for each team is added in the end and
whichever team gets more is the Winner!!
Hope you enjoyed playing the game.
Thank you and have a good day.
