MODALS OF LOST OPPORTUNITY - should have - could have - would have

This worksheet is designed for **Intermediate (B1-B2)** students and focuses on the use of **past modals** (*could have, would have, should have*) through a reading about famous voice actors who passed away too early. Students will explore the lives and careers of voice actors such as James Earl Jones and Robin Williams, while learning how to express possibilities, regrets, and hypothetical situations in the past. The worksheet includes a detailed grammar explanation, common mistakes, and practice exercises. Students will also engage in a task-based activity, writing reflections about what these actors **could have** achieved had they lived longer, providing an engaging and meaningful context for grammar practice.

BETTER USE THE PROJECTABLE only the first 9 pages were loaded.



(This was meant to be the handout to go with the eponymous Projectable for your students to take notes while listening, which is why I took out the French; but on the Projectable the explanations are all there, which doesn't change a thing: you can still comment the pictures your own way ). Can, Could, May  Must, May, Might, Will, Would, Shall, Should, they're all here along with Be Going To and a few others... Doesn't include the Semi-Modals, though. 

THE MODALS IN PICTURES (Can, Can't, Can't Have, Could, Couldn't, Could Have, Couldn't Have, May , May not, May have, May not have, Must, Must have, Mustn't, Might, Might Have, Will, Won't, Will have, Won't Have, Would, Would have, Shall)

Have you ever...? (Speaking cards)

I´ve just done modals with my upper elementary students and they wanted to have some more practice on this topic. Hope you have fun with this ws, too.

If I ruled the world (1st and 2nd conditional)

This paper doll worksheet can take up an entire 45 min lesson. Have the students colour and cut the clothing along the dotted line (I uploaded another paper doll worksheet without the dotted lines for older students who can cut. In this worksheet the students will need help cutting the hair out).



After they colour and cut the doll and the clothing. Have them lay out the clothing on their desk and then give instructions to the students.



Ex. Put the shirt and skirt on the girl! (the student will put the female hair on the doll and put the shirt and skirt over the dolls body)



I made a larger doll on the board and would put the correct clothing on the doll and the students checked that they were right
