MODAL VERBS AND ADJECTIVESAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

1. Modal Verbs The modal verbs are:- CAN / COULD / MAY / MIGHT / MUST / SHALL / SHOULD / OUGHT TO / WILL / WOULD

2. All the auxiliary verbs except be, do and have are called modals. Unlike other auxiliary verbs modals only exist in their helping form; they cannot act alone as the main verb in a sentence. Be , do , and have also differ from the other auxiliaries in that they can also serve as ordinary verbs in a given sentence.

23. Comparative form of Adjectives When we compare two things or people we look at what makes them different from each other. Comparative adjectives are used to show what quality one thing has more or less than the other. They normally come before any other adjectives.

24. Forming the comparative   Words of one syllable ending in 'e'. Add -r to the end of the word. Example: wide - wider

25. Words of one syllable, with one vowel and one consonant at the end. Double the consonant and add - er to the end of the word. Example: big - bigger

26. Words of one syllable, with more than one vowel or more than one consonant at the end. Add - er to the end of the word. Example: high - higher

27. Words of two syllables, ending in 'y'. Change 'y' to 'i', and add - er to the end of the word. Example: happy - happier

28. Words of two syllables or more, not ending in 'y'. Place 'more' before the adjective. Example: beautiful - more beautiful

29. The following adjectives are exceptions to this rule: 'good' becomes 'better' 'bad' becomes 'worse' 'far' becomes 'farther' or 'further'

30. !Note When comparing two things like this we put than between the adjective and the thing being compared. For example:- "Mount Everest is high er than Mount Snowdon ." "Arguably, Rome is more beautiful than Paris.

31. Adjective Order Adjectives can be used to describe lots of things, from physical size, age, shape, colour , material, to more abstract things like opinion, origin and purpose. We can use adjectives together to give a detailed description of something. Adjectives that express opinions usually come before all others, but it can sometimes depend on what exactly you want to emphasise .

32. For example: "That nice, big, blue bag. “(You like the bag.) "That big, nice, blue bag. " (You like the colour .)

33. When we group adjectives together there is a general rule for the position of each type adjective, these are:- Position 1st* 2nd* 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th Opinion Size Age Shape Colour Material Origin Purpose Nice Small Old Square Black Plastic British Racing Ugly Big New Circular Blue Cotton American Running

34. This is just a guide as you wouldn't normally see so many adjectives in one description. For example: "She had a big, ugly, old, baggy, blue, cotton, British, knitting bag." Is grammatically correct but a bit too long-winded. * You might swap opinion and fact adjectives depending on what you wish to emphasise :- For example: "She had a long, ugly nose." emphasising the length of her nose. "He was a silly, little man." emphasising that the man was silly.
