Note on models

1. What are model verbs? What is their function in sentences? Which model verbs are used to give advice? Model verbs to give and ask advice

2. They are Auxiliary verbs that provide additional and specific meaning to the main sentence Are words that comes before a main verb and give it extra meaning such as: ability, advice, necessity, possibility, etc. Modals of advice are used for giving advice, suggestions, and recommendations. There are two modal verbs we often use for giving advice: ‘should ’ and ‘ ought to ’. Both mean the same thing but work in slightly different ways. Let’s look at some examples ……continue…

3. Examples: You should do more exercise. You shouldn’t drink so much beer . As you can see above, after ‘should’ we use an infinitive without ‘to’. • You ought to do more exercise. You ought not to drink so much beer . Unlike ‘should’, we always use ‘ to ’ in ‘ought to’ for giving advice Make it into a question To make advice less direct, we can use a question to make the person we are advising consider about the advice we are giving them …..continue….

4. • Why don’t you do some more exercise? • How about doing some more exercise ? With the question ‘ Why don’t you…?’ we use an infinitive without ‘to ’. When we use ‘How about…?’ to make question, we use a gerund after it …..continue….

5. Put yourself in the person’s position If someone is asking for your advice, sometimes it’s useful to imagine yourself being in that person’s position . This is a good way to explain your advice, too . Example: • If I were you, I would do more exercise . To make this negative , put ‘not’ after ‘would’ …..continue…..

6. Make a suggestion A suggestion or recommendation is another good way of giving advice that isn’t to direct . You can use the words ‘suggest’ o‘recommend ’ as in the example below. • I would suggest doing more exercise. • I would recommend doing more exercise. …..continue….

7. Use ‘ verb+ing ’ after ‘suggest’ or ‘recommend’ to explain your advice to the listener. To make these negative, put ‘not’ before your ‘ verb+ing ’. Advise in a stronger way Sometimes , you need to make your advice stronger to let the listener know that it’s really important. We can use the expression ‘you had better …’ to do this …..continue….

8. You had better do more exercise before you start getting fat. • You had better not drink so much beer or you will get fat. • We use an infinitive after ‘better’ to explain our advice and add ‘ not’ after ‘better’ to make the sentence negative. ….continue….

9. Accept: • Thanks, I’ll do it. • It sounds good. • That sounds like a good idea. • Thanks. It’s a good suggestion. • I think you’re right. ….continue…

10. Refuse: • No, I’d rather not. • I don’t think so. • I don’t feel like it. • No, I don’t it’s a good idea. • What a bad idea! • Do you think so? ….continue….

11. How do we use mod Subject-modals- verb Example : Mary could play the piano They do not need other auxiliary verbs There is no “s” in singular There is no “do / does” in the question There is no “don’t / doesn’t” in negative Modal verbs do not have infinitives or – ing forms Modal verbs are followed by an infinitive without to She must study (strong obligation) We should have gone the other way (recommendation) He could play football in his youth (ability in the past) ….continue…

12. Modal verbs do not have all the tenses Modal verbs use other verbs to complete the tenses Can is completed with be able to Must is completed with have to Examples: They can play the piano =They will be able to play the piano in the future ….continue..
