Week 11 2nd - 8th December 2013

Hello!

 

This week we have studied modal verbs (can, cannot, could, ought to, to be able to, may, might, must, mustn’t, should, shouldn’t, have to, had better…) We have used them to express abilities, needs, probabilities, and we have given advice and asked for permission in both formal and informal ways. We have also discussed about rules at work and used modal verbs as if we were in a working environment. We have also talked about production processes, reports, etc.
