In this unit, there is a lot of advanced grammar concepts: modal verbs, clauses, phrasal verbs, and the passive voice. Modal auxiliary verbs provide extra meaning, such as, obligation, possibility/probability, permission/prohibition, ability, or advice to a verb. Independent clauses can stand alone. Dependent clauses must be connected to an independent clause. A relative clause functions like an adjective and can be defining or non-defining. The passive voice takes the emphasis away from the subject or doer of the verb.
Modal verbs and clauses are very intuitive and easy to learn in my opinion. The passive voice I think is a very good indicator or an English learner's skill level because it makes use of a few different grammar concepts. Phrasal verbs consist of a verb plus one or two articles. I think phrasal verbs are very tricky to correctly analyze because one must really understand the different parts to correctly identify the correct type. I don't think phrasal verbs are very intuitive to learn because of this. To teach phrasal verbs, I would definitely use exercises and visual aids to make sure the students started to recognize some of the patterns among the different verbs.
