A. Introduction/ Preparation

Good morning class. Good morning Ma’am.

Kindly lead the prayer. (one student will eventually lead the prayer for the
whole class)

Shelly’s prayer:

Our most loving and gracious Father, thank you so

much Lord for all the blessings that you have given
to us. For always keeping us safe and for never
ceasing in answering our prayers. May you grant us
the knowledge and understanding as we start our
lesson this morning. We are humbly asking for your
guidance and forgive us from our sins. All these we
ask in your Holy name, Jesus Christ our Savior, Amen.

(students will do what the teacher instructed them)

Before you take your seat, please pick up pieces of
paper under your table and arrange your chairs
properly.

Let me first check your attendance. Say “present” once

your name is called.
(students whose names were called will say
(the teacher will start calling names in alphabetical “present”)
order)
 B. Motivational Activity

Study the following sentences. What do the underline

words in each sentences suggest? How do we call these
underlined words?

1. Can you speak louder when delivering your Theo: The underline words suggest permission and
lines? prohibition.
2. You can take a deep breath before rendering
your speech. Jasper: they are modals
3. Other speakers mustn’t make noise while one
speaker is on stage.
4. You can’t speak before a big audience if you
are nervous.

Very good Theo. The underline words suggest

permission and prohibition.

Jasper got it almost right. They are called modals. But Modals of prohibition?
to be specific, what kind of modals?

Very good. We call them as modal of prohibition.

C. Lesson Proper

Remember: Can is a modal often used to ask for and (students are listening attentively)
give permission. It means something is allowed and can
be done.

Both can’t and mustn’t are modals used to show that

something is prohibited-its not allowed

Can’t tells us that something is against the rules.

Mustn’t is usually used when the obligation comes from
the person who is speaking.

Who can give me a sentence using can, can’t and Student 1: I can always reach my dreams as long as I
mustn’t? never give up.

Student 2: I can’t stop dreaming about success.

Student 3: you mustn’t quit until the end.

Very good. Seems like you have actually understood the

lesson for today.

Do you have any questions or clarifications about our No ma’am

topic for today?
