Making Recommendations

Worksheet Description

This worksheet begins by providing a clear explanation of “should” and “shall” as modal auxiliaries. Students will learn that “should” is used to express recommendations, obligations, or expectations, while “shall” is used to indicate future actions or intentions, often in a formal context. The differences between the two modal auxiliaries will be highlighted through illustrative examples.

In the main section of the worksheet, students will find cues or given topics in parentheses. Their task is to write sentences using either “should” or “shall” as appropriate, based on the context provided. This exercise challenges students to consider the intended meaning and purpose of the sentence to determine the most suitable modal auxiliary. This serves as a helpful modal auxiliary activity for kids.
