Revision of MODAL VERBS

We are back to our lessons again. Last year we learnt the use of modal verbs shall/should/may/might/could/have to/must/ needn't/couldn't to express:

• obligations and prohibitions 
•  duties and necessity
•  future possibilities
•  ask permission
•  ask for and offer help and advice
•  make requests and invitations
