Modal verbs: should - must - have to

Focus: Grammar in action

Let's continue learning how to use modal verbs correctly. In today's lesson, we'll be looking at 'should', 'must', and 'have to'.

'have to' is actually not a modal verb, but I've included it in the lesson because it often gets mixed up with 'must'.

Step 1:

Watch the video lesson twice.

Make sure you make some notes the second time you watch the lesson.

Step 2:

When you've finished the video lesson, download the Exercise PDF below and do the exercises.

Step 3:

When you've finished the exercises, download the ZIP file below.

Use the Answer key PDF to check and correct your answers.

Then, use the Audio file to activate what you've learnt through two listening activities:

Activity 1: Listen & write (or type) each correct answer.

Activity 2: Listen & repeat each correct answer out loud several times without looking at the text.

Step 4:

When you feel you've fully mastered the material in this lesson, take the quiz.

You need to get a minimum score of 80% in each quiz to receive your Certificate of Completion, so repeat the quiz until you score above 80%. You can take each quiz up to 10 times.
