Organization:
This lesson is intended cover the whole English period. It is not
exhaustive in its coverage of the functions of modals in the English language. The assumption is that the high intermediate learners will already understand many common functions of modals, such as asking permission, making requests, and being polite. The focus of this lesson, then, is to broaden the students understanding of other appropriate and useful situations where modals are used. Finally, the order of the days is intended to move the students from more simple examples to more complex. If the students prior knowledge lends itself to changing the order of days, the lesson plan should still be effective.

Here's a list of the modal verbs in English: can could may might will would must shall should ought to
Introduction: A modal verb (also modal, modal auxiliary verb, modal auxiliary) is a type of auxiliary verb that is used to indicate modality. The modal verbs include can, must, may, might, will, would, should. They are used with other verbs to express ability, obligation, possibility, and so on.
For example: It's snowing, so it must be very cold outside. I don't know where John is. He could have missed the train. This bill can't be right. 200 for two cups of coffee!
For example: She can speak six languages. My grandfather could play golf very well. I can't drive.
Probability: First, they can be used when we want to say how sure we are that something happened / is happening / will happen. We often call these 'modals of deduction' or 'speculation' or 'certainty' or 'probability'.
Ability: We use 'can' and 'could' to talk about a skill or ability.
For example: Children must do their homework. We have to wear a uniform at work. You should stop smoking.
For example: Could I leave early today, please? You may not use the car tonight. Can we swim in the lake?
Obligation and Advice: We can use verbs such as 'must' or 'should' to say when something is necessary or unnecessary, or to give advice.
Permission: We can use verbs such as 'can', 'could' and 'may' to ask for and give permission. We also use modal verbs to say something is not allowed.
For example: When I lived in Italy, we would often eat in the restaurant next to my flat. John will always be late!
For example: Must I come? (Do I must come?), or: He shouldn't smoke (He doesn't should smoke).
Habits: We can use 'will' and 'would' to talk about habits or things we usually do, or did in the past.
Modals are auxiliary verbs. They do not need an additional auxiliary in negatives or questions.
Here are some examples: Past simple: Sorry I'm late. I had to finish my math test. Present perfect: She's had to return to Korea at short notice. Future: You'll have to work hard if you want to pass the exams. Infinitive: I don't want to have to go. s Past simple: I couldn't/wasn't able to walk until I was 3 years old. Present perfect: I haven't been able to solve this problem. Can you help? Future: I'm not sure if I will be able to come to your party. Infinitive: I would love to be able to play the piano.
Modal verbs are unlike other verbs. They do not change their form (spelling) and they have no infinitive or participle (past/present). The modals must and can need substitute verbs to express obligation or ability in the different tenses.
