Unit 18 focused on modal verbs, the passive voice, relative clauses and phrasal verbs. Modal verbs are used to describe things such as obligation, possibility, permission, ability and advice. Some examples of modal verbs are can, could, may, might, should, will, would and must. The chart that shows the modal verbs and their uses was very helpful to me and would also be very useful for students when studying these verbs. Next I learned about active voice versus passive voice. If the same sentence was written in the active voice and passive voice, they would both have the same meaning, however, the focus is different. In the active voice, the focus is on the agent whereas in the passive voice, the focus is still on the agent but it is much less important or doesn't appear at all. Again, the passive voice section had a great chart that showed how to change verbs into the passive voice based on their tens. I think this chart can help students memorize and learn how to effectively use the passive voice. Relative clauses were briefly discussed in this chapter, Thee are three categories of clauses: independent, dependent and relative clauses. I learned that relative clauses give further information about a noun and it is important to look for key words such as who, which, that, whose or whom in relative clause sentences. Lastly chapter 18 focused on phrasal verbs. There are three types of phrasal verbs: intransitive, transitive separable and transitive inseparable. After reading this section, I realized that I use phrasal verbs all of the time but didn't know exactly what they were. I think phrasal verbs might be a little tricky for students to learn and use so this will be an important topic to spend lots of time on.
