In this unit, I learnt about modal auxiliary verbs, the difference between active and passive voice, relative clauses and the basic types of phrasal verbs. Modals are used to express a number of ideas such as possibility or probability (e.g. ?might?), obligation (e.g. ?must?), advice (e.g. ?should?), and permission (e.g. ?may?). The way modal verbs are used or structured in a sentence can change the formality and the meaning of the main verb. In active and passive voices, the meaning of the sentence generally remains the same, but the focus shifts. I learned that relative clauses are clauses that start with a relative pronoun, for example: that, who, which, whose, etc and are either defining or non-defining. Phrasal verbs are usually multi-word phrases that consist of a verb and another particle. The three basic types are intransitive, transitive separable and transitive inseparable. Once again, when teaching these complex grammar skills, I learned the importance of helping students familiarize themselves with various examples and to use a range of teaching ideas and activities.
