Hello dear! Welcome to our ‘BETTER NORMAL’ way of learning!
I hope you will enjoy, learn and master our lesson in this module.

GUIDE CARD

Introduction: It sounds so simple: say what you mean. But all too often, what we try to
communicate gets lost in translation despite our best intentions. We say one thing, the other
person hears something else, and misunderstandings, frustration, and conflicts ensue.
Today’s session is very interesting! This would help us further our skills in English
grammar. We are going to discuss Modals and learn how to express permission, obligation and
prohibition using the following modal verbs and other functions.

Take a look on these comic strips…

additional and specific meaning to the
main verb of the sentence.

Modal verbs expressing permission,
obligation, and prohibition. As you can

that do overlap depending on the context
of the sentence. Just always go back to its
function.

Modals are also called modal verbs, auxiliary verbs – they are special verbs and they
give additional information about the function of the main verb.
There are two types of modal verbs of obligation; those that primarily express a firm
obligation or necessity - must and have to - and those that express a recommendation or
moral obligation - should and ought to.
Can is another type of modal often used to ask for and give permission. It means
something is allowed and can be done. Both can‘t and mustn‘t are also modals used to
show that something is prohibited (Prohibition) – it is not allowed.
Can‘t tells us that something is against the rules. Mustn‘t is usually used when the
obligation comes from the person who is speaking.

ENRICHMENT

What are Family Values?


What should make up a strong family that possesses good family values? It is the family that
sustains its members, that supports and nourishes each other throughout the span of that family. A strong
family unit has to create a safe, positive and supportive place for all members to thrive. They are able to
utilize resources and to live together in a fairly healthy manner.
The adults in a strong family set the tone. They are good role models that lead by example. They
reach out to friends and community and teach their children the importance of doing the same -- and that
becomes part of who the children are. They work together to solve problems, and they pass their skills on
to the next generation. Some important elements of a strong family system are family cohesion, family
flexibility and family communication.
Cohesion- In families, cohesion would be defined as the feeling of being loved, of belonging to the
group and being nurtured by it. Although closeness is good in a family unit, there must be a balance
between being together and being separate. A person must be able to develop their individuality, while
being supported and confident within the family. A few things that bring a family together are the
commitment of other family members, and the spending of time together.
Flexibility- There must be a structure in a family or it will become chaotic and will not be a peaceful
setting for a family. Conversely, there must be flexibility or the family becomes rigid and the authority
figures are resented. We could compare a successful family to a democracy. There are leaders, but the
whole group is involved in the decision making process. Although the leaders are in charge all members
develop the ability to cope with stress, and at times lead. While the family works to avoid stressful
situations they work together to solve problems, without blaming, criticizing and finding fault with each
other. Families that tend to have a strong spiritual base seem to have a sense of well-being that facilitates
this working together in times of stress.
Communication- Ever hear the saying, "What we have here is a failure to communicate?" A lack of
communication can rip a family apart and destroy them. Things that facilitate communication are the
things mentioned so far -- family closeness, flexibility, time spent together, spirituality. All members must
feel a freedom within the group to express themselves freely.
Another very important factor is the relationship between the "head" couple. In a family that is
parented by a happily married couple, people are able to express themselves more freely. What they
might say isn't filtered through the problems of the "guardians." A happy marriage seems to set the tone
in the house. It spills over from the family to the community and a healthy family will be reaching out to
help others. They do not tend to isolate themselves from the rest of the world.
A very important thing for families to teach their children is how to make good decisions. If they
have watched their parents making well thought out decisions over the years, they will tend to be good
decision makers themselves.
A healthy, happy family benefits our whole society. Among the children of strong families there is
less crime, less divorce and less emotional problems. They tend to go on and have strong, healthy families
of their own, having learned from their folk's example.
