Modal verbs

Modal verbs:

• DEFINICIÓN: Los verbos modales son verbos diferentes al resto de los verbos. Tienen una serie de características especiales. Estos verbos pueden expresar: obligación, necesidad, prohibición, ausencia de necesidad, probabilidad, posibilidad, habilidad…
  
• CARACTERÍSTICAS:
  • Son verbos incompletos. No tienen participio ni infinitivo, y necesitan otros verbos para completar su conjugación: CAN se completa con la perífrasis BE ABLE TO, MUST con HAVE TO, etc.
  • No llevan -S en la 3ª persona singular del presente simple, excepto HAVE TO (HAS TO)
  • Todos van seguidos de otro verbo en infinitivo sin TO, excepto OUGHT TO, HAVE TO y NEED TO.
  • Como no necesitan verbo auxiliar, construyen la interrogativa invirtiendo el orden del sujeto y el verbo, y la negativa añadiendo NOT. ¡¡OJO!! CANNOT

  Se refieren al pasado: expresan conclusiones, suposiciones y conjeturas que hacemos sobre hechos pasados y se forman con un modal + have + participio.
  • MUST + HAVE + PARTICIPIO → conclusiones lógicas en el pasado, e.g. Sheila was absent yesterday. She must have been ill.
  • COULD + HAVE + PARTICIPIO
    → indica que hubo posibilidad de hacer algo en el pasado pero realmente no se hizo, e.g. He could have helped us, but he came too late.
    → en negativa, expresa la incredulidad de que lo ocurrido sea cierto, e.g. She couldn't have said those words.
    → para hacer una suposición en el pasado, e.g. She didn't come to the party. She could have been ill.
  • MAY / MIGHT + HAVE + PARTICIPIO → expresan una suposición sobre el pasado, e.g. Call her again. She may / might not have heard you the first time.
  • SHOULD / OUGHT TO + HHAVE + PARTICIPIO
    → para lamentar que no se siguió un consejo en el pasado, e.g. She looks worse. She should / ought to have seen a doctor last week.
    → para lamentar que no se haya cumplido lo que esperábamos, e.g. They should have been home by now.

Annabel Lee

Here you have the last known poem written by Edgar Allan Poe Annabell Lee. Read it, check new vocabulary.

ANNABEL LEE
 

It was many and many a year ago, In a kingdom by the sea, That a maiden there lived whom you may know By the name of ANNABEL LEE; And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me. I was a child and she was a child, In this kingdom by the sea; But we loved with a love that was more than love- I and my Annabel Lee; With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven Coveted her and me. And this was the reason that, long ago, In this kingdom by the sea, A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling My beautiful Annabel Lee; So that her highborn kinsman came And bore her away from me, To shut her up in a sepulchre In this kingdom by the sea. The angels, not half so happy in heaven, Went envying her and me- Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know, In this kingdom by the sea) That the wind came out of the cloud by night, Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee. But our love it was stronger by far than the love Of those who were older than we- Of many far wiser than we- And neither the angels in heaven above, Nor the demons down under the sea, Can ever dissever my soul from the soul Of the beautiful Annabel Lee. For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes Of the beautiful Annabel Lee; And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride, In the sepulchre there by the sea, In her tomb by the sounding sea. Edgar Allan Poe

Then watch the video of the Spanish pop group Radio Futura based on the poem.

What do you think of the translation? Is it a good one? Post a comment on it (remember, this is compulsory for the 2º Bilingual students).


Once you have  done this two activities, we are going to discuss the poem in class ( Poe's life and age, summary, topic, rhymes, stanzas, analysis of the poem, etc.).


I hope you enjoy it.
