Unit 18 Modals, phrasal verbs and passive voice considers modal auxiliary verbs and the passive voice in detail, as well as a brief overview of phrasal verbs and relative clauses.
The 'modals' are: can, could, may, might, shall, should, will, would, must, have to, have got to, need to, needn't and ought to. They are used before other verbs to add meaning to the main verb. Modals can be used to express a number of different ideas and to express differing degrees of formality.
Then we overview modal auxiliary verbs, when they uses, and their examples in present, future and past tences.
Difference between active and passive voice:
The active voice is actually the most common voice used, and it describes the subject actually doing the action.
The passive voice is less common. Unlike the active voice, this describes a verb being happened to the subject of the sentence, rather than the subject carrying it out.
Phrasal verbs, or multi-word verbs, consist of a verb plus one or two particles. They operate as one item.
They divide into intransitive, transitive separable and transitive inseparable phrasal verbs:
Intransitive phrasal verbs cannot be followed by a direct object.
Transitive separable phrasal verbs - an object pronoun can only come between the verb and the particle
Transitive inseparable phrasal verbs - with this type of phrasal verb, the object phrase or object pronoun both come after the particle
