Exploring Possibilities

Worksheet Description

In the beginning of the worksheet, students will be introduced to modal auxiliaries, with a specific focus on “could.” The concept of modal auxiliaries will be defined and explained, emphasizing their role in expressing past ability, possibility, polite requests, and suggestions. Examples will be provided to illustrate the various functions of “could” in different contexts.

Following the explanation, students will engage in analyzing sentences and identifying the specific function performed by “could” in each sentence. They will write the corresponding letter indicating whether “could” is expressing past ability, possibility, polite requests, or suggestions. This exercise encourages students to carefully consider the context and intended meaning conveyed by “could” in each sentence, deepening their understanding of modal auxiliaries. This serves as a helpful modal auxiliary activity for kids.
