PASSIVE VOICE USES 

What are modal verbs? 
 
A modal verb is a type of verb that indicates likelihood, ability, requests, suggestions, or any other modality. Modal verbs are different from other verbs because they come before the infinitive of another verb (without the word to). Common modal verbs include can, could and should but there are many more of them that you’ll go over with your students. 
 
Requests - Would, Could, Can, May, and Might is a ready-to-teach ESL lesson plan that focuses on different ways to make requests and ask for permission. Students will practice using the subjects “I” and “you” to complete various matching and gap-fill activities. This lesson also talks about ways to make formal and informal requests using these specific modal verbs. 
 
This is a great lesson plan for pre-intermediate students of all ages, but it would also be a great review activity for your more advanced students, so keep it handy and incorporate it into your warm-up and review activities! 
 
This practical, easy-to-use lesson plan is ready for your next online or in-person class.
