Modal verbs can have a variety of mean depending on context. There is also many ways to express the same idea with varying strengths of attitude. Can, could and may all have the ability to make a request but with different degrees of politeness and formality. Modals are extremely important in natural English and may cause difficulty with student. Such difficulties include mismatching tenses to express a specific idea. Also taught in this lesson is passive voice. Passive voice will rarely change the meaning of the active sentence but shifts the focus from the agent to the object of the active sentence. The passive voice is most often used when the agent is not known, not important or is not being specified for some reason. Lastly I learned about phrasal verbs. For me, this was an important section. Phrasal verbs can be difficult to understand because they take on a new meaning when the verb is combined with a preposition or an adverb. These can be taught as one vocabulary item and examples can help reinforce the usage and meaning to avoid confusion for the students.
