In this unit I examined modal auxiliary verbs, the passive voice, 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. The different ideas that modals can express are obligation, possibility/probability, permission/prohibition, ability, and advice. I also learned that modal auxiliary verbs can also be used to express differing degrees of formality and that they do not change in form according to person. Some teaching ideas for modal auxiliary verbs are role-play, rules, and signs. When using the passive voice the object of an active bern becomes the subject of the passive verb. Only transitive verbs (verbs followed by an object, such as sell, take, buy, write, etc.) are used in the passive. Perfect continuous tenses are not normally used in the passive. I learned the usage of the passive voice, typical student errors/mistakes, and teaching ideas. I also learned about different clauses. Clauses are a group of words containing a subject and verb. The three categories of clauses are independent clauses, dependent clauses, and relative clauses. I specifically learned about relative clauses, which are dependent clauses that modify a noun. They describe, identify, or give further information about a noun. I also looked over examples of pronouns in defining relative clauses and in non-defining relative clauses. Phrasal verbs consist of a verb plus one or two particles and they operate as one item. The three basic types of phrasal verbs are intransitive, transitive separable, and transitive inseparable. Intransitive phrasal verbs cannot be followed by a direct object. In intransitive separable verbs an object pronoun can only come between the verb and the particle and an object noun can come either between the verb and the particle or after the particle. In intransitive inseparable verbs the object phrase or object pronoun both come after the particle, and this type also includes phrasal verbs that have two particles: an adverb followed by a preposition.
