Modals, phrasal verbs and passive voice.
The “modals” are: can, could, may, might, shall, should, will, would, must, have to, have got to, need to, needn’t, ought to.
They are used before other verbs to add meaning to the main verb. models can be used to express a number of different ideas, such as:
• Obligation
• Possibility
• Permission
• Ability
• Advice
Modal auxiliary verbs can also be used to express differing degrees of formality. Modal verbs don’t change in form according to person. They are followed by a verb in its base form.
Passive voice.
There are two voices used in English: active voice and passive voice.
In the passive, the object if an active verb becomes the subject of the passive verb. Both sentences basically have the same meaning, but the focus is different. In the active voice, the focus is on the agent, while in the passive voice, the focus is on the subject as well, but the agent is much less important or doesn’t appear.
