ESL Grammar Lesson Demo - Past Modals - Intermediate

[@TheJoeySheehan]

Thank you so much for these videos - as a new teacher, tweaking my lessons with the approaches here made a world of difference in just one lesson in terms of student engagement and understanding of the content. Much appreciated! 😀🙏

This is actually a great way to teach grammar. I always use this method to contextualize the grammar lessons. Well-done.

Chris, your lessons helped me a lot when I had a practice at school as a teacher. Thank you :)

Thanks Chris. We always lost ways to teach grammar to Students. It's so engaging the way you used ESA method in delivering, fascinating and error correcting the class. But I might be wrong, I didn't see the part of CCQ in this video.

1- Well, saying this after 6 minutes watch: I suppose the group is at starter level, and I wonder whether it is a good idea to teach them past modals. It seems like the students cannot pace with the teacher. Also, I wonder what is the use of naming the grammatical term (past participle) instead of just saying V3. Is it about metalinguistic awareness? 2- 8:44 is it correct to say "you should have not fought with him"? We are taught to say "you should not have fought with him?" 3- Positive thing about this lesson is that the topic encourages the students to speak about their own experiences (internalization). 4- I liked the idea of writing on the board and correcting the mistakes the students have made during the activity, around 15:11 PS: I am not a native speaker though, so I could have made some grammatical or functional mistakes :-)

[@stonesdon]

Hi Mesut, as a native speaker both are correct. You can say both, fought with him and fought with them, to refer to one person.

[@mesutcalskan4335]

@@stonesdon Well, I wasn't expecting a reply after so much time, but I am glad I got an answer to my question. Actually, my question wqs about the sequence of the modal verb: should not have fought or should have not fought, which is correct? We were taught the first way like should not have done, must not have done, could not have done, and not like should have not done... Thanks a lot

[@stonesdon]

@@mesutcalskan4335 Yeah I would say shouldn’t have fought him. But should have not fought him is also grammatically correct. In England we would use the 1st form, the teacher Is American so not sure if it’s an Americanism

@@stonesdon ok, got it. Thanks very much :)

Sir could we use could or could have in place of might/may or may/might have for making past or present/future possible deductions for eg; in a past deduction sentence “he might/may have fallen asleep just now that’s why he didn’t pick up the phone” to “he could have fallen asleep just now that’s why he didn’t pick up the phone” and “he may/might have said so that’s why she isn’t talking” to “he could have said so that’s why she isn’t talking”. And in future deduction as “he might be singing tomorrow” to “he could be singing tomorrow” or “he might be running” to “he could be running”. Please help Sir. I’d hugely thankful to you.

Hi, would you be able to send me the lesson plan for narratives pls.

[@edwalkeronthewing]

It's here: teflpragueandabroad.blogspot.com/2016/03/past-modals-intermediate-lesson-plan.html 😊👍

[@rono6950]

Hi Chris, actually "could," "would," and "should" are all in the past tense. The present tense for those words would be "can," "will," and "shall." Great presentation thought!

[@mohamadgholami9026]

"If I were you, I would be more considerate when making comments." Is that in the past tense?
