Slide 2 : Pete knew he wouldn’t mind being in prison so much. He wouldn’t have to work at all, but he could still get a free SUPPLY of food every day. However, eating the ‘Nutraloaf’ the prison served each day must have been pretty tiring.
So, one day when Pete should have been eating ‘Nutraloaf’ he was watching Star Trek. He saw that they had a special machine that could instantly make any kind of food SIMPLY appear from thin air. Pete must have been so excited. He decided that he ought to make one too.
Pete began to do everything he could to recreate this amazing machine. He was ONE SMART COOKIE, and somehow he was successful. This PARTICULAR machine could pump out any kind of food he wanted. It could make pork chops. It could make pumpkin PIES. And it could even make pizzas.
He could simply name the food, and the food would pop out right in front of his eyes just like he EXPECTED. Pete would only use it at night when everyone was sleeping. He would stay awake all night eating delicious food. And of course, he started to gain weight.
The other prisoners knew he must be eating something good, and demanded to know what it was. Pete would not tell them...so they beat them up. They even threatened to kill him by tearing him APART, so he decided he should show them his machine.
They must have really loved Pete’s food machine, because it was a huge success. They were SURPRISED at how much food it could provide them with. They would all end up becoming very fat. And none of the prisoners wanted to leave the prison when they were released. Even the prison guards got fat too.

Slide 4 : 1) The modal verbs NEVER take on the "-s" form in the third person singular. Here are some examples:
He speaks Chinese (without modal verb)
He can speak Chinese (with modal verb)
2) The modal verbs do not take on the gerund form “–ing” nor the past form “–ed”. See the examples below:
She musted study very hard. (Not Correct)
She must study very hard. (Correct)
They canning go do it. (Not Correct)
The can go do it. (Correct)
3) There is NO infinitive form for modal verbs. Take a look:
To can. (Not Correct)
To should. (Not Correct)
To may. (Not Correct)
Slide 5 : 4) The modal verbs are always followed by the infinitive verb in the base form and NEVER with “to”. The only exception to this rule is the modal verb “ought” which is actually considered a quasi-modal (but we’ll talk more about that later.
She must to study German. (Not Correct)
She must study German. (Correct)
5) Modals can be followed by the auxiliary verb ‘be’ in the continuous tense or the auxiliary verb ‘have’ in the perfect tense.
She must be working. (continuous)
Mary might have watched the movie before. (perfect)
6) They will never be followed by the auxiliary verb ‘do’ (do, does, did). However, ‘do’ can be used as a main verb which is perfectly acceptable.
It can do weird tricks. (main verb)
She must do her homework before 10:30. (main verb)
Slide 6 : 7) Modal verbs are ALWAYS followed by a main verb. You may see a modal without a main verb...however the main verb will always be inferred by the context and understood by the user.
Can they speak German? Yes, they can (speak German).
Should he see a doctor? Yes, he should (see the doctor).
8) Modal verbs don’t refer to a specific tense: present, past or future. The only way to determine a a tense is through the use of an auxiliary verb or a verbal clauses.
The only exception to this rule the modal verbs ‘will’ and ‘shall’. They are the only modals that specifically indicate time.
The modal verbs that can express the present verb tense are: can, will, shall, ought to, must, need, and may. The modal verbs that can express the past tense are: would, should, could and might.
Can I go to the club tomorrow morning with you guys?
I’m sorry, I couldn’t go. I got chickenpox last week.
