Hi Children , today we going to learn the modal verbs Must and Should .

"Must" indicates an obligation, prohibition or need. You can also use "have to" (have to).

Examples :

• You must [have to] read this book, it’s fantastic.
• You must [have to] brush your teeth two times a day.
• We must [have to] leave now or we will be late. 
• You must not drink and drive. 

You can also use "must" to indicate probability or take something.

Examples :

• John’s not here. He must be sick because he never misses class.
• It must be difficult to learn a new language as an adult. 

You may also use "must" for rhetorical questions

• Must you always be late?
• Must she talk so much?

Should

"Should" indicates an obligation or recommendation. Reflect an opinion on what is right. It translates as the conditional "should" in Spanish.

Examples :

• I should call my parents more often. 
• You shouldn’t work so hard.
• They should practice more if they want to win the championship. 

"It should" is used in interrogative sentences to ask if there is an obligation or to ask for a recommendation.

MODAL VERBS

Hi children ,  my name is Mindy , and today Im going to teach us the modal verbs !

Modal verbs are auxiliary verbs that can not function as a main verb, unlike auxiliary verbs "be", "do" and "have" that they can function as a main verb.

Modal verbs express mode. They can express ability, possibility, necessity or other status. They are auxiliary verbs future and conditional. The English verb tenses are not enough to express ideas of chance or uncertainty. There is no conditional tense in English. At the same time, auxiliary verbs are used for conditional. Nor is there a tense and the subjunctive in Spanish. Therefore, it is very important to understand the uses of modal verbs.

As complementary verbs are modal verbs do not work without another word. The other verb always goes after the modal verb is in the base form (the infinitive without "to"). modal verbs are not conjugated and have no time.

The modal verbs are :

• Can 
  
• Could
• May / Might
• Will
• Shall
• Should
• Ought to
• Must / Have to
• Would
