Our House

(Madness)

a) Listen to the song and write the missing words 1-10. Use the clues (in brackets to help you). Remember that I gave you the photocopy in class!

Key:

a) 1 Sunday; 2 tired; 3 downstairs; 4 Brother; 5 always; 6 Mum; 7 late; 8 shirt; 9 school; 10 happy

b) 1.His memory of his home seems to be positive. He talks about "such a happy time" and he describes his family and home life with affection. However, one line of the song says: Something tells you that you've got to move away from it. Perhaps this is how he felt when he was a teenager and wanted to become independent of his family.

Modal Verbs REVISION

:-)
Now time to revise...

REMEMBER > All the auxiliary verbs except be, do and have are called modals. Unlike other auxiliary verbs modals only exist in their helping form; they cannot act alone as the main verb in a sentence.

Be, do, and have also differ from the other auxiliaries in that they can also serve as ordinary verbs in a given sentence.

The modal auxiliary verbs are always followed by the base form.

The modal verbs are:-

CAN / COULD / MAY / MIGHT / MUST /SHOULD /SHALL

Remember HAVE TO and BE ABLE TO are NOT  modal verbs, but are used to express obligation and ability in English
