Study Notes
Gap Fill Exercise
- Fill in the blanks with appropriate modal verbs (will, shall, may, can, must, or have to).
- The exercise involves understanding the nuances of these modal verbs, focusing on their contextual usage. Example: "1- Never ladies, marry a fool; any husband rather than a fool; with some other husbands you (a)........ be unhappy, but with a fool you (b)...... be miserable; with another husband you (c)........."
Grammar Application
- Identify the correct modal verbs needed in different sentences to convey precise meaning related to obligations, possibilities, permissions, etc.
- The sentences require the student to contextualize their choices based on the circumstances described.
Semantic Difference
- Differentiate between "He shall be in" and "He must be in".
- The difference lies in the degree of certainty or obligation implied by each modal. "Shall" suggests a plan or decree, while "must" implies a stronger obligation or necessity.
