In this Power point, I use the Deductive Instructional Strategy for my class, I give the grammatical usage rules of the modal verbs and then give them examples from everyday speech of the English language. Moreover, I try to incorporate Scaffolding Instructional Method into my teaching. Firstly I would like to teach the simple modal verbs one by one, and once they learn them, I will switch to compound modal verbs tests.

3. What are Modal Verbs ?
Modal verbs are special verbs which behave very differently from normal verbs. Here are some important differences:
I am giving a general information about modal verbs here.

4. 1. Modal verbs do not take "-s" in the third person.
EXAMPLES: He can  speak Russian. She should  go now.
My wife may join us for the dinner.

EXAMPLES: You should not be late.
I can not come to at 6pm.
He may not like this idea.
You must not disturb him now, he is busy.
They didn’t must do it. NOT CORRECT
