This was the final grammar unit and discussed modals, phrasal verbs, relative clauses, and passive voice. Modals are used to express obligation, possibility/probability, permission/prohibition, ability and advice. They can also be used to express differing degrees of formality. Phrasal verbs are 'multi-word' verbs that consist of a verb plus one or two particles and operate as one item. There are three types of phrasal verbs: intransitive, transitive separable, and transitive inseparable. Phrasal verbs are very difficult to understand. I want to explore the idea of using them as vocabulary items instead of grammar points. Relative clauses are a group of words containing a subject and a verb. There are also three categories of clauses: independent clauses, dependent clauses, and relative clauses. Relative clauses can be further broken down into defining and non-defining clauses. Defining clauses included information that is essential to the meaning of the sentence. Non-defining clauses include non-essential information and are surrounded by commas. There are two types of voices in English: active and passive. In the passive voice, the object becomes the subject. The sentence carries the same meaning but the focus is different. Passive voice is used when the person who performs the action is not know, important or remains unsaid.
