Modal Auxiliaries

The verbs can, could, will, would, should, may, might, must, ought and shall are verbs which 'help' other verbs to express a meaning: it is important to realise that these "modal verbs" have no meaning by themselves. A modal verb such as would has several varying functions; it can be used, for example, to help verbs express ideas about the past, the present and the future. It is therefore wrong to simply believe that "would is the past of will": it is many other things.

1.    Will

            ·         Making presonal predictions

             I doubt if I will stay here much longer.

            ·         Talking about the present with certainly (making deductions)

             I’m sure you will understand that there is nothing the Department can do.

2.    Shall

Shall is a form of will, used mostly in the first person. Its use, however, is decreasing, and in any case in spoken English it would be contracted to "-ll" and be indistinguishable from will.

            ·         Making offers

             Shall I fetch you another glass of wine?

3.    Can & Could

           ·         Talking about ability

            Can you speak Japanese? (present)

            She could play the piano when she was five. (past)

           ·         Making request

            Could you speak up a bit please? (slightly more formal, polite or softer)

           ·         Asking permission

           Can I ask you a question?

4.    Must (examples here refer to British English, there is some variation in American English)

          ·         Must is often used to indicate 'personal' obligation; what you think you yourself or other people/things must do. If the obligation comes from outside (eg a rule or law), then have to is often (but not always) preferred:

           People must try to be more tolerant of each other.

5.    Would

           ·         As the past of will

           He said the next meeting would be in a month’s time.

6.    May

           ·         Talking about things that can happen in certain situations

            Each nurse may be responsible for up to twenty patients.

7.    Might

           ·         Saying that something was possible, but did not actually happen

           You saw me standing at the bust stop! You might have stopped and given me a lift!

Modal verbs are NEVER used with other auxiliary verbs such as do, does, did etc. The negative is formed simply by adding "not" after the verb; questions are formed by inversion of the verb and subject:

·         You should not do that.

·         Could you pick me up when I’ve finished?

1.         Verb followed by infinitive à Infinitives are the "to" form of the verb. The infinitive form of "learn" is "to learn”

·            I asked her to leave.

·            I wanted to leave.

·            I stopped for the child to cross the street.

2.         Verb followed by gerund à A gerund is a noun made from a verb by adding "-ing." The gerund form of the verb "read" is "reading”

1. The Simple Past Tense and The Present Perfect

The simple past tense indicates that an activity or situation began and ended at a particular time in the past. 

The present perfect expresses the idea that something happened (or never happened) before now, at an unspecified time in the past.The exact time it happened is not important. It also expresses the repetition of an activity before now. The exact time of each repetition is not important.

Example :

• The plane crashed there.
• The plane has crashed there.

2. Subject Verb Agreement

Subject-verb agreement just means using the right version of the verb to agree with the subject. For example:

• One dog is sitting on the grass
• Two dogs are sitting on the grass

In other words, should you be using a singular verb (like is and plays) or should you be using a plural one (like are and play)?

• No one knows what he can do till he tries (Publilius Syrus, circa 100 BC)
• The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive .

3. Possesive Pronouns and Adjective Pronouns


Possessive pronouns and adjectives are two different ways to show possession in English. Possessive adjectives go before the noun and possessive pronouns go after the noun

Noun + Possesive Pronouns
Example :

• The dog is mine
• The brown cat is hers

Possesive Adjective + Noun
Example :

• Her cat is brown
• My dog is big

4. Collective Noun


A collective noun is a noun that refers to a group of entities that may be considered either as individuals or as one larger entity.

Examples
	Club Examples: It is a large club. They are a large club. Gang Examples: The gang’s all here. The gang are all here.

Experience Of Waiting In Line To Buy Tickets Aerosmith

It's 2 o'clock and I just sit here with people whose busy with their activities. There's a girl with her family enjoying ice cream. A man sit right in front of me and maybe he is a worker here because he wear a kind of clothes. All people doing stuff such as eating, discussing, laughing etc. They enjoy their weekend with family. then come another girl with her friends. She have a lovely smile. she buy a pack of donuts and carry her sweater. someone say that you should spend some of your time with family because they're part of your life. Don't waste your time, we don't know how much we have until we leave them forever.

Today I already paid the ticket for Aerosmith concert and I wish, I get the ticket. I really like her not just her songs but all about her. I admire her. I paid from banking transaction. I could buy the ticket by myself but it takes a lots of efforts so I asked friend to buy it for me although I must add more fee than the normal price but it ease things. I choose silver section cause I want see her closely.

The way they sell the tickets make me upset. They didn't have any teamwork like raj*karc*s or etc. They manage by themself. On the presale day, the website couldn't opened. Its totally crash. It take a whole night for turn normal. They said that tickets sale start at 4 PM yesterday but the website crash until 9 PM. I'm not pretty sure with the time. I'm so sad in that time. What if I don't get the ticket. What if I can't watch Taylor. All the negative thought suddenly come and kill me. I hate that feeling.

This is the third time Aerosmith held concert in Indonesia. This year, Aerosmith come with Tour World Concert theme on May 11th 2014 at Tenis Indoor, Senayan. Concert start at 7 PM. Can't wait to see her. I'm so excited till dead. The rumors said that Aerosmith will sing 20 songs in her concert at Jakarta.
