 MODAL AUXILIARIES 

What are "modal auxiliary verbs"?

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. CAN and COULD
Talking about ability
  • Can you speak Bahasa ? (present)
  • She could play the guitar when she was five. (Past)
Making requests
  • Can you give me a ring at about 10?
  • Could you speak up a bit please? (slightly more formal, polite or 'softer') 
Asking permission
  • Can I ask you a question?
  • Could I ask you a personal question? (more formal, polite or indirect) 
2. WILL and WOULD
Making personal predictions
  • I don't think the Queen will ever abdicate.
  • I doubt if I'll stay here much longer 
Talking about the past with certainty
  • I'm sure you will have noticed that attendance has fallen sharply 
Making a semi-formal request
  • Will you open the window, please? It's very hot in here. Sign this, will you? 
Polite requests and offers (a 'softer' form of will)
  • Would you like another cup of tea?
  • Would you give me a ring after lunch? I'd like the roast duck, please.
In conditionals, to indicate 'distance from reality': imagined, unreal, impossible situations
  • If I ruled the world, every day would be the first day of Spring.
  • It would have been better if you'd word processed your assignment.
4. MAY AND MIGHT 
Talking about the present or future with uncertainty
  • She may be back in her office: the lecture finished ten minutes ago.
  • I may go shopping tonight, I haven't decided yet.
  • England might win the World Cup, you never know. 
Talking about the past with uncertainty
  • I'm surprised he failed. I suppose he might have been ill on the day of the exam.
  • They can also sometimes be used for talking about permission, but usually only in formal situations. Instead of saying May I open a window? we would say Is it all right/OK if I open a window? or Can I open a window? for example. You might, however, see
  • Students may not borrow equipment without written permission. 
5. SHOULD AND MUST
Giving advice
  • I think you should go for the Alfa rather than the Audi.
  • You shouldn't be drinking if you're on antibiotics.
  • You shouldn't have ordered that chocolate dessert - you're not going to finish it 
Ought to

Ought to usually has the same meaning as should, particularly in affirmative statements in the present:
  • You should/ought to get your hair cut.
  • Should is much more common (and easier to say!), so if you're not sure, use should 
Strong advice and invitations
  • I think you really must make more of an effort.
  • You must go and see the film - it's brilliant.
  • You must come and see me next time you're in town.
Saying you think something is certain
  • This must be the place - there's a white car parked outside.
  • You must be mad.
  • What a suntan! You must have had great weather
6. SHALL
Making offers
  • Shall I fetch you another glass of wine?
Making suggestions
  • Shall we go to the cinema tonight?

TUGAS 3 (Post 1)

 ELIPTICAL STRUCTURE

Nama = Avega Selviyana
Kelas = 4EA18
Npm  = 11210230  

In the grammar of a sentence, an elliptical construction is a construction that lacks an element that is, nevertheless, recoverable or inferable from the context. The elliptical construction is a sequence of words in which some words have been omitted. Because of the logic or pattern of the entire sentence, it is easy to infer what the missing words are.
It is noticeable that elliptical sentences are used quite common in some contexts as :

1. In normal conversation
  • A : Where are you going?  B : To Supermarket ( I am going to supermarket)
  • A : Ready (are you ready) 
 2. In comparison
  • Andi is shorter than toni 
       = (Andi is shorter than toni is shorter)


3. In sentences joined by coordinating conjunctions
  • I have washed and dried my shoes  
       = ( I have washed my shoes and I have dried my shoes)
  • Nina has seven won and Luri three
       = ( Nina has seven wons and luri has three wons) 




4. In some dependent clauses

  • I will go to wedding party if you will 
       =( Iwill go to wedding party if you will go to wedding party) 
  • If you go to the office today, i will tomorrow
       =(If you go to the office today if I will go to the office tomorrow)





5. In reduced clauses
  • I am beautiful, and so do my brother ( I am beautiful, and My brother is beautiful too)
  • When studying, he tried hard ( When he was studying, he tried hard)
  • I visited the mall after coming back from campus ( I visited the mall after I coming back from campus)
  • My sisters like singing and My mom does to ( My sisters like singging and My mom like singing to)
  • The song sung by Raisa was so popular ( The song which was sung by Raisa was so popular)
