ACTIVITY SUGGESTION
Before giving this worksheet to your students, review and discuss what a 'modal' is (students may better understand the concept if you refer to it by its other name, a 'helping verb'). Make note of the fact that verbs never change after 'can'. For example: "He can cook." NOT: "He can cooks." Wrap-up by having students compare answers with classmates, and then choose one or two students to write their answers on the board: (1) can; (2) Can / can, etc. Correct and discuss any mistakes. (Add 5 to 10 minutes.) |
