Key points covered include defining verbs, the different types of verbs, conjugating regular and irregular verbs, and using different verb tenses to talk about events in the present, past and future.
Languages and you
The document discusses several people's experiences with language learning and using languages. It describes one person falling in love in their German language class, another getting stuck in the bathroom at their language school, living abroad in Amsterdam and using a mix of languages, and improving English skills to better communicate with students' parents. The stories showcase the personal and professional impacts of language learning.
Modal Verbs
They are incomplete verbs that don't have all tenses like the past participle needed for the passive voice. They use other verbs like "be able to" or "have to" to complete their tenses. They are followed by an infinitive without "to" in most cases and don't require an auxiliary verb in questions or negatives. Examples of common modal verbs are can, may, must, should, and would. The modal perfect tense is formed with a modal verb plus "have" and the past participle to talk about logical conclusions, assumptions, abilities, or regrets regarding the past.

If a condition in the present is met, then a result will occur in the future. The 1st conditional refers to possible or likely conditions and their future results, using "if" to introduce the condition and will/won't to discuss the future result. It also notes that "unless" means "if not".
