Modals
• Are used to express:
– Possibility
– Probability
– Uncertainty
**It might rain today.
***John is not in class. He may be sick.
The basic form:
• Modal +
Verb
• Verb + Verb
– I want to go
– I may go
– I need to go
– I might go
– I do not want to go
– I might not go
– I must go
No “to” between the modal and the
verb
“Not” comes between the modal and
the verb
Arrange the sentences in order
from impossible to certain
1. She may be the killer.
2. She could be the killer.
3. She can’t be the killer.
4. She must be the killer.
Solution:
1. She can’t be the killer.
(impossible/least certain)
2. She could be the killer.
3. She may be the killer.
4. She must be the killer. (most possible/certain)
We can use modals when we:
• Make guesses/predictions
• John is late. He may be in traffic.
• The teacher is angry. We might have failed the
test.
• Make suggestions
• It is raining outside. You could wear a raincoat.
• I am going to Manhattan. You could go to Central
Park.
• Give reasons for advice
• Don’t steal. You might go to jail.
Situation:
When I arrived at school today, there
were papers all over the floor in the hall
and in my office.
With a partner:
Write as many sentences as possible as to
what may have happened. Use modal
verbs.
Murder Mystery Game

• One of you will be the murderer…
• Read the Background Information on
the worksheet.
The Characters
• Read your character card. Memorize the
information. The aim is to act out the game,
become the character and not to just read the
information from the card.
• Collect information about everyone who was at
the party and fill any important information on
the worksheet.

Task:
1. Walk around the room.
2. Ask questions and write in the information
on the worksheet.
3. After you have spoken to everyone who
was at the party, go back to your seat.
4. Using the information you have collected,
try to work out who killed Ms. McGowan
and why they did it.
Questions to ask characters:
• What is your name?
• Why were you at the party?
• What was your relationship with Ms.
McGowan?
• ….
Solution:
• Mr. Green is Saul Sheen's father; he and Miss
McGowan had a relationship in college. Miss
McGowan has always kept it a secret but after
the last argument with Saul she plans to tell him
the truth. She tells Mr. Green about her plan and
they argue. Louise King overhears them. Mr.
Green is furious and it is he who follows Miss
McGowan to the classroom and hits her over the
head. He wasn't in his office when everyone
heard the scream, that's why when Saul Sheen
knocked on the door he got no answer.
Using Modals in Everyday Life

uncertainty, probability, possibility

place or situation on your index card
