We'll be learning about festival invitations and practicing some key grammar points. Let's get started! ‹#› Christmas Eve The kids must be excited. Lead in 1.7.2013 Hello everyone, welcome to our class. Today we will continue with Unit 2, focusing on the 'Using Language' part. We'll be learning about festival invitations and practicing some key grammar points. Let's get started! ‹#› 02. Grammar exploration 1.7.2013 Hello everyone, welcome to our class. Today we will continue with Unit 2, focusing on the 'Using Language' part. We'll be learning about festival invitations and practicing some key grammar points. Let's get started! ‹#› 1. What do the words in bold indicate: an offer, a request, ability or possibility? 2. Will the meaning of sentence (a) change if we replace “could” with “must” or “might”? 3. What happens if we change “must” and “might” in sentences (b) and (c) into “could”? a That is why Letters from Father Christmas could be the perfect book... b The children must have been very excited as they opened it. c ... they might not receive their presents if they were not good. Grammar exploration 1.7.2013 First, let's look at this picture. It seems to be a busy shopping scene. Can you guess what the people might be doing here? Take a moment to think about it. ‹#› 1. Analyze the Bold Modal Verbs 01. An Order Expresses a strong command or direct instruction (e.g., "You must finish the task on time.") 02. A Request A polite way to ask for help or action (e.g., "Could you pass me the dictionary?") 03. Ability Indicates what someone is capable of doing (e.g., "She can speak three foreign languages.") 04. Possibility Suggests something may or might happen (e.g., "It might rain this afternoon, so take an umbrella.") 1.7.2013 Now let's move on to grammar. Look at the sentences in your textbook. The words in bold are modal verbs. What do they indicate? An order, a request, ability, or possibility? ‹#› 2.Will the meaning of sentence (a) change if we replace “could” with “must” or “might”? 01. Original: could Implies possibility or potential. It suggests the book has the capacity to be perfect, but it’s not a confirmed fact. This conveys a gentle, speculative tone, leaving room for other possibilities. 02. Replace with: must Expresses strong certainty or logical deduction. It implies the book is definitely perfect, leaving no room for doubt. This shifts the tone to a firm, conclusive statement. 03. Replace with: might Suggests a weaker possibility than ‘could’. It conveys uncertainty and tentativeness, implying the book may or may not be perfect, making the statement more hesitant. 1.7.2013 Consider sentence (a): 'That is why Letters from Father Christmas could be the perfect book...'. What happens if we replace 'could' with 'must' or 'might'? Does the meaning change? Let's analyze. ‹#› 3. What happens if we change “must” and “might” in sentences(b) and (c) into “could”? Must → Could Original: Implies obligation or strong certainty (e.g., "You must finish it"). Change: Shifts to ability, permission or possibility (e.g., "You could finish it"). The tone softens from strict to suggestive. Might → Could Original: Indicates uncertain possibility (e.g., "It might rain"). Change: Expands to polite request or theoretical possibility (e.g., "Could you help?"). Adds a layer of social interaction. Key Takeaway "Could" is more versatile than "must" or "might". It bridges logic and social interaction, making it ideal for polite suggestions, hypothetical scenarios, and softening strong statements in daily communication. 💡 Practical Tip: If you want to sound less direct or more polite, replacing "must" with "could" is a simple yet effective way to adjust your tone in conversations. 1.7.2013 Now look at sentences (b) and (c). What if we change 'must' and 'might' to 'could'? How does this affect the meaning of the sentences? Let's explore this further. ‹#› 情态动词 + 动词原形 can 肯定句 表示客观可能性，意为“可能” As a human being, anyone can make a mistake. 否定句/疑问句 表示对现在的动作或状态进行主观的猜测，意为“可能” He can’t have a lot of money. 1.7.2013 Hello everyone, welcome to our class.
