You can use past modal verbs to describe someone’s possible or alternate actions in the past in a complaint situation. Past modals such as should have/ought to have/could have/might have express advisability or possibility in the past. For example: You could have spoken to the manager. (but you didn’t) He shouldn’t have opened the package of computer software. (but he did) She should have returned it within the 14 days. The customer service representative could have explained the extended warranty more clearly. #grammaresl #eslvocabulary #lbccesl #lbccesllc #foreignstudent #learnenglish #englishgrammar #eslpronunciation #englishwords #eslpractice #eslteacher #eslstudent #grammarmistakes #grammarquestions #esltutor #eslgrammar #esllesson #eslclass #eslquestions http://parkerdavid.weebly.com/week-6-advisability-obligatio

Table with modals, their meaning and examples. #grammaresl #eslvocabulary #lbccesl #lbccesllc #foreignstudent #learnenglish #englishgrammar #eslpronunciation #englishwords #eslpractice #eslteacher #eslstudent #grammarmistakes #grammarquestions #esltutor #eslgrammar #esllesson #eslclass #eslquestions https://www.scribd.com//MODAL-AUXILIARIES-AND-SIMILAR-EXPR

Unlike statements, when asking for permission or making a request, we use the reverse order, i.e. the modal verb goes before the subject: Can / Could / May + subject + the verb. The difference is how polite you want to be. Can you choose the right modal for the situation? #grammaresl #eslvocabulary #lbccesl #lbccesllc #foreignstudent #learnenglish #englishgrammar #eslpronunciation #englishwords #eslpractice #eslteacher #eslstudent #grammarmistakes #grammarquestions #esltutor #eslgrammar #esllesson #eslclass #eslquestions https://www.facebook.com//a.101528351928/10154276881744123

The Difference between a Direct Question and an Indirect Question An indirect question is a question embedded within a statement or another question. A sentence featuring an indirect question might not end in a question mark. In the two examples below, the indirect questions are shaded. #grammaresl #eslvocabulary #lbccesl #lbccesllc #foreignstudent #learnenglish #englishgrammar #eslpronunciation #englishwords #eslpractice #eslteacher #eslstudent #grammarmistakes #grammarquestions #esltutor #eslgrammar #esllesson #eslclass #eslquestions https://mcargobe.wordpress.com//03/21/indirect-questions-/

Direct Vs Indirect Questions: Direct questions are the normal questions that we can ask friends, family members, and people who we know well. Indirect questions are a little more formal and polite. We use them when talking to a person we don’t know very well, or in professional situations, and their form is a little different. # #grammaresl #eslvocabulary #lbccesl #lbccesllc #foreignstudent #learnenglish #englishgrammar #eslpronunciation #englishwords #eslpractice #eslteacher #eslstudent #grammarmistakes #grammarquestions #esltutor #eslgrammar #esllesson #eslclass #eslquestions # eslteacher #eslstudent #grammarmistakes #grammarquestions #esltutor #eslgrammar #esllesson #eslclass #eslquestions https://en.islcollective.com//wo/indirect-questions/123948

We use modal verbs to show if we believe something is certain, probable or possible (or not). We also use modals to do things like talking about ability, asking permission making requests and offers, and so on. #grammaresl #eslvocabulary #lbccesl #lbccesllc #foreignstudent #learnenglish #englishgrammar #eslpronunciation #englishwords #eslpractice #eslteacher #eslstudent #grammarmistakes #grammarquestions #esltutor #eslgrammar #esllesson #eslclass #eslquestions https://www.eslbuzz.com/modal-verbs-in-english/
