Modal verbs are used to change the meaning of other verbs.
They can express meanings such as certainty, ability, or obligation.
The main modal verbs are:
will, would, can, could, may, might, shall, should, must and ought.
Can you write a few sentences including some of these modal verbs?
Please proof-read your response before submitting (check punctuation, spelling and grammar).
We look forward to reading your responses,
Mrs Avdiu & Ms Robertson

Hi Violette
Nice sentences – how are the Dork diaries, going? If you can get motivated you should read more.
Well done Violette. Please check the punctuation in the first sentence 🙂
1. The boys could now go to the park without adults.
2. We should use our manners and say please and thank you.
3. Molly can have fun at the fun fair if she goes on a lot of rides.
I hope everyone is doing well !
I really like your sentences Violette , here are mine :
1) You ought to cut your hair this weekend !
2) Do you think that you could fetch me that brush ?
3) Can you climb that ? asked the little girl pointing at the towering tree above .
4) Shall we visit Benjamin this summer ?
Super sentences!
1] Please can you go down stairs to put the laundry on the drying rack.
2] I think that we should go to eat Chinese food early because then we will get a table quickly and we don’t have to stay in a que for an hour if we come late.
3] You may play roblox as long as you finish all of todays homework fast.
Thanks Marco. There’s a very important punctuation mark missing at the end of the first sentence! Also could you please find the correct spelling for ‘que’? It has a really funny spelling! Also names of things (including games) should have a capital letter. Could you correct your sentences and repost please?

Dear Miss Robertson ,
I finished to read “Dork Diary” and I also finished the other book I took : “Saxby Smart”. I enjoyed this book a lot because it was a detective story with suspense! My mum sent a picture of me with my book to Miss Lynch. Please have look!
Now, I am reading “The Explorer” .
Have a good day!
1. You must finish your homework before your mum gets home or she’ll be angry.
2. “If you do as your told we shall go to the fair.”?
3. I have finished all my work and now I might be allowed to play in my room.
Hi Violette
I am so proud of you! You seem to be doing so much reading these days, and really enjoying your chosen books too. Do let me know how you find “The Explorer” sound like it might be an adventure book? Can’t wait to hear all about it!
Hi Elsa
