Grammar: modals (and similar expressions) for advice and obligation
---
modals = can, could, may, might, will, would, shall, should, ought to, had better, must
similar expressions = be able to, be allowed to, have to, be going to

modals: must be the first verb (so you can’t use two modals for the same verb), don’t change for tense or person, followed by base form
similar expressions: same meaning as certain modals, but don’t follow those grammar rules
---
obligation: must, have to, must not (this is the only option)
	You must arrive before 9:15. You have to take the test. You must not forget.
no obligation: don’t have to
	You don’t have to buy the tickets. I can do it after work.

advice: should, shouldn’t, ought to (this is the best option)

permission: may, can, be allowed to (this is one of your options)
no permission/prohibition: may not, can’t, [be] not allowed to (this is not one of your options)
---
Remember: most modals have multiple meanings
---
p. 71 part 5 - Rewrite these labels with full sentences using one of the modals in parentheses.)

  This product shouldn’t be eaten by people with nut allergies.

‘i’ has two main pronunciations in the middle of English words:
long i = die, diabetes, high, sigh, might, tribe,
short i = sit, with, trip, music
(Generally it only sounds like ‘ee’ at the end of a word, like “ski” or “Saudi”.)

Common Writing Errors

*Was raining the whole weekend.
-> It was raining the whole weekend. (Every verb needs a subject. “it” and “there” [like “there is”] might be the subject if nothing else can be.)

*We met many new places.
-> We discovered / got to know many new places. (“meet” is for people)

*The wait was worth it, the weather in Los Angeles is wonderful.
-> ...worth it. The weather… / ...worth it because the weather… / ...worth it: the weather…
	(The error here is called a comma splice. Two independent clauses are joined with just a comma. To correct it, either separate them more with a period, colon, or semicolon, or add a conjunction.)
- A run-on sentence is a sentence that is “too long” without having a comma between clauses.
---
p. 72 - What do you think “imaginary eating” is? Do you think it could help with weight loss?
skeptical = unwilling to believe something without more evidence
gullible = too willing to believe something without enough evidence
- Read the text.

English is hard. It can be understood through tough thorough thought, though.
(English is hard. It can be understood using strong complete thinking, however.)
Extra Credit: find a way to add “trough” to the sentence

p. 72 part 3 - Listen and decide if the statements are true or false.
part 4 - Listen again and complete the sentences.
1 I’ll believe it when I see it.
2 If you don’t train your mind, you won’t be able to lose weight.
3 I won’t find out unless I try.
4 When I want to eat a snack, I’ll try just imagining it.
5 I’ll never have to buy chocolate again if this technique works.

---
Grammar: first conditional = future real conditional
	future: it’s about something happening in the future
	real: it’s about something that really may happen
form = if + [present], [future]
(We use the same form for “when”, “unless”, “until”, “as soon as”, and “before”. In other words, clauses about time or conditions use present forms with future meaning.)
---
p. 73 part 7 - Complete these sentences with the correct verb forms.
1 believe, will be
2 will need, want
3 don’t buy, won’t be able
4 find, will you let
5 go, will check
6 will give up, do
7 don’t try, will never know
8 will you do, doesn’t work
---
A person who parks here too long will get _____ car towed.
- “their” (singular “they”): most common in speaking (almost everyone uses it), fairly common in writing, but some people believe it is incorrect because “they” should only be plural
- “his”: used to be standard, but now feels sexist because it doesn’t include women
- “his or her”: grammatically correct, but can get awkward and unclear when you have to say it a lot
- “People who park here too long will get their cars towed.”: everyone agrees this is correct

Meanings of different conjunctions:

I’ll tell you when I come back. = I will come back, and then I’ll tell you.
I’ll tell you if I come back. = I don’t know whether I’ll come back, but if I do, I’ll tell you.

You won’t find out until I come back. = I will come back, and then you’ll find out.
You won’t find out unless I come back. = I don’t know whether I’ll come back, but if I do, you’ll find out.
	(“unless” basically means “if + not”)

I’ll tell you when I come back. = I’ll tell you pretty soon after I come back.
I’ll tell you as soon as I come back. = I’ll tell you immediately after I come back.
---
