Modal auxiliary verbs, passive voice, phrasal verbs and relative clauses are examined in this unit.
Modal auxiliary verbs express the speaker’s feeling or attitude to a particular verb such as ability, advice, deduction, obligation, offer, permission, possibility, prediction, prohibition, promise or request. It’s very subjective and can be used to express differing degrees of formality.
There are two voices used in English: the active and the passive. The object of an active verb in the passive becomes the subject of the passive verb. The passive’s focus is on the action and who performs the action is not important. A “by” phrase is used when the speaker/writer wants the listener/reader to know who performs the action.
A relative clause is a dependent clause that modifies a noun. It describes, identifies, or gives further information about a noun. It can also be referred to as an adjective clause. Relative pronouns (who, which, that, whose, whom, etc.) are used to introduce relative clauses. Sometimes, there is no relative pronoun. Two types of relative clauses are defining and non-defining. A defining relative clause provides important information to the meaning of the sentence. Meanwhile, information given in a non-defining relative clause is not essential to the meaning of the sentence. A comma is put before the relative and at the end of the clause.
Phrasal verbs, or multi-word verbs, consist of a verb plus one or two particles. They operate as one item. There are three basic types of phrasal verbs: intransitive, transitive separable and transitive inseparable. Teacher should try to use phrasal verbs naturally during uncontrolled practice/conversation so that they should become more familiar to the students.
